Pita Limjaroenrat returned to parliament after a six-month absence, having been cleared by the Constitutional Court of media share ownership allegations.
He declared his ambition for Government House and confirmed he would participate in an upcoming parliamentary debate on garbage management.
Pita clarified his current role as an advisor to the party leader, with the decision for a new leader to be made at the party's general meeting in April.
He expressed confidence regarding the pending lèse-majesté law case and opted not to sue the activist who initiated the iTV shareholding case against him.
Despite the ruling, activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana plans to request the Election Commission investigate undeclared shareholdings of MPs, senators, and ministers.
