Constitution Court will not consider Pita shareholding case on Wednesday
The Constitution Court postponed considering the Election Commission's (EC) request regarding Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat's ITV shareholding case due to internal review processes.
The EC concluded sufficient evidence shows Pita owned 42,000 shares in iTV during his election candidacy and asked the court to suspend his MP duties immediately.
Pita's political future remains uncertain, with this case and strong opposition from senators to his party's lèse majesté law amendment policy ahead of tomorrow's prime ministerial vote.

How safe are Thailand's senior motorists?
Recent incidents and rising fatalities underscore a critical safety concern with Thailand's senior motorists, as accidents involving elderly drivers are increasing.
Thailand currently lacks an upper age limit for drivers, and millions of pre-2003 lifetime licenses mean many seniors avoid regular fitness evaluations, contrasting with stricter regulations in other countries.
Experts urge elderly drivers to recognize physical warning signs like disorientation or impaired reflexes, advising self-awareness and family support to ensure road safety and prevent accidents.
