Pita says iTV shares transferred, no bar to being PM

Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat waves to supporters in this photo posted with his statement about his iTV shareholding posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday morning, with the message, "I am ready to fight all attempts to revive iTV to block us."
