Why a party with a single MP is being courted by Pita

13 Sept 11:33 Key points summarised by AI

Pita Limjaroenrat's Move Forward Party is inviting the Fair Party, despite its single MP Kannavee Suebsang, to join the coalition due to shared policy objectives.
The Fair Party, a new political entity, champions human rights, democratic values, and bureaucratic decentralization, with a notable focus on the southern provinces.
Both parties advocate for ending security and emergency laws and abolishing the Internal Security Operations Centre, believing these measures exacerbate violence in the restive southern region.
Kannavee confirmed that the common goal of achieving peace in the south is the primary reason for the coalition invitation, highlighting a shared vision over parliamentary numbers.
