Young pro-reform candidate won over many in the electorate – but not military appointees who blocked him from being PM

Despite this, Pita has ultimately been unable to overcome the hurdles that were implanted in the Thai election system after the last coup. Military-appointed senators blocked his attempt to become prime minister, and his nomination to rerun on Wednesday was voided by a parliamentary vote.

Pita is also facing two legal cases and is now suspended from parliament pending an investigation into allegations he was ineligible to run in the election as he owned media shares.
