Supporters of Thai reformist Pita Limjaroenrat gather outside the parliament to protest after the country’s Constitutional Court suspended the prime minister candidate while it hears a case that could see him disqualified as an MP. IMAGES
Thailand's most popular politician Pita Limjaroenrat leaves the Constitutional Court in Bangkok after he was banned from politics for 10 years and his party dissolved over his attempt to reform the kingdom's royal defamation laws. The court voted "unanimously" to dissolve Pita's Move Forward Party (MFP) and ban its executive board for 10 years, a judge said. IMAGES
Thailand's parliament rejected election winner Pita Limjaroenrat's bid to become prime minister. After hours of discussions but a surprisingly swift voting process, Pita failed to secure the 375 parliamentary votes needed to become Thailand's 30th premier, despite his reformist party winning the popular vote in the general election.
