Pita Limjaroenrat (Thai: พิธา ลิ้มเจริญรัตน์, RTGS: Phitha Limcharoenrat, pronounced [pʰí(ʔ).tʰāː lím.tɕā.rɤ̄ːn.rát] ⓘ; born 5 September 1980), nicknamed Tim (Thai: ทิม), is a Thai businessman and politician. A member of the House of Representatives, he previously served as Leader of the Move Forward Party, the de facto successor to the dissolved Future Forward Party, from 2020 to 2023. He led Move Forward to become the largest party in the 2023 general election, winning 151 seats, but resigned as leader of the party in September 2023. He continued to be active in the party, and was reinstated as an MP in January 2024 after a brief suspension from parliamentary duties. After the Move Forward Party was dissolved in August 2024, Pita was banned from politics for 10 years, and he began a fellowship at Harvard University.
