Bangkokians fill the grounds of CentralWorld to show support for Pita as PM

Pannika Wanich, a leader of the Progressive Movement, was also present and spotted posing for photos with her supporters. The movement is led by former executives of the Future Forward Party, which was dissolved in 2020 before its MPs got together to form Move Forward.

Pita was scheduled to arrive later in the evening.

Aree Nakwad, 70, an avid supporter of Move Forward said she had been waiting to catch sight of Pita since 2pm. She said she will stay until Pita completes his speech regardless of the rainy weather.

Many vendors had put up stalls in the CentralWorld grounds selling souvenirs, including fans with Pita’s picture, umbrellas and raincoats – all in orange.
