Thai election upstart who vows to be different

 Pita Limjaroenrat isn't your common Thai lawmaker.

In a nation where the typical time of bureau pastor is 65, where unquestioning yielding to seniors is as yet a loved custom, his childhood - he looks far more youthful than his 42 years - and brazen certainty makes him stick out.

That he is, after a shock political race result that put his reformist Push Ahead party in front of all the others, ready to turn into the most youthful state leader in 78 years, has dazed the moderate political foundation which has overwhelmed Thailand for a significant part of the cutting edge time.

Troublesome exchanges are presently under method for shaping an alliance government with Pheu Thai, the second biggest party, which has won each political race held in Thailand starting around 2001, and had been supposed to win the most recent, hung on 14 May.

Both Pheu Thai and Push Ahead believe themselves to be moderate, against military obstruction in legislative issues like the 2014 upset, which removed a Pheu Thai organization.

Yet, the youthful activists of Push Ahead outsmarted the more seasoned party, beating many of its competitors, with an inventive, online entertainment-based crusade offering electors a total break with the past, and an alternate sort of political initiative.

"I'm unique," Pita tells me. "We are not getting into an alliance to seek after a convenient solution, or to get me the great ministership. I'm in government for individuals. The world has changed.

"You don't need to be a resilient man, with harmful manliness, to ensure 'individuals need to pay attention to me, and I must be the one at the center of attention constantly'.

"I don't need to be wonderful constantly. I can simply resemble an ordinary person here in Thailand, riding bikes, eating on the roads like some other individuals."
