Thai election: Who is Pita Limjaroenrat, the Move Forward Party leader?

For nearly a decade, Thailand has been led by an authoritarian military establishment — but Pita Limjaroenrat, an Ivy League-educated business executive and leader of a liberal opposition party, is seeking to change that.

The results of Sunday’s election appear to have gone largely in his party’s favor, potentially setting the stage for Pita to become the country’s next prime minister, but rules set in place after a 2014 military coup could complicate that process.
