The 'old guard' in Thai politics reportedly fears the Move Forward party's policies, including amending the lèse majesté law, seeing them as a threat to their established status quo.
Activists call for a rally at the Constitutional Court regarding Pita's iTV shareholding case and advocate for MPs to wear black to protest non-support for Pita's prime ministerial bid.
