Thai court rejects claim opposition MP violated election law

Pita Limjaroenrat's party was blocked from taking power last year after complaints led to his suspension

Thailand's constitutional court has ruled that an anti-establishment opposition figure whose party was blocked from taking power last year did not violate election law and can be reinstated as an MP.

The court rejected a complaint brought against Pita Limjaroenrat by conservative politicians that he had violated election law by owning shares in a media company.
