The Almost Prime Minister

'We want change. We dream of a different future. We believe this country can be better.'

This is a political memoir—a record of Pita Limjaroenrat that has never been told anywhere before. From his years studying abroad and working in business to becoming the unexpected face of Thailand's pro-democracy movement, Pita recounts the personal and political journey that led to the 2023 election victory of the Move Forward Party, backed by more than 14 million voters.

Set against the backdrop of military coups, political upheaval, and growing public disillusionment, The Almost Prime Minister captures the hopes of a generation demanding reform, dignity, and equal opportunity. Blending intimate reflections with sharp political insights, Pita reveals the human story behind the headlines—a journey shaped by faith, sacrifice, public faith, and an unwavering belief in a better tomorrow.

When hope has already been awakened in a nation, can it ever truly be silenced?
