BANGKOK: Even with his Thai premiership bids thwarted and his party facing dissolution despite winning May’s election, Pita Limjaroenrat sees a political future for himself.

The 43 year-old has shaken off the disappointment and is busy preparing for the years - and challenges - ahead. With plans to criss-cross the country and travel overseas to build support, he is seeking to sustain momentum that could deliver his progressive Move Forward Party another win in the next election cycle.
