Democratic Party prepares for elections: focus on transport reform!

The political landscape in Thailand is poised for exciting changes, especially with the upcoming elections fast approaching. Today, November 1, 2025, นายสกลธี ภัททิยกุล, the deputy leader of the Democratic Party, publicly addressed the preparations for this important occasion. Loud Dailynews He emphasized that the party is already screening candidates for parliament and recruiting potential new faces.

A key part of the effort is a review of existing candidate lists, while also seeking to attract fresh talent. This shows that the Democratic Party is willing to change and adapt. In the next few days, on November 5th, a nationwide campaign to recruit new members and candidates is scheduled. Those interested can either contact the party directly or submit their applications online. A good hand is required here to select the best candidates.

Focus on transport policy

Another important point highlighted by นายสกลธี is the party's planned focus on transport policy in Bangkok. In particular, the challenges of public transport and the associated traffic problems are now the focus of the agenda. This could be a dawning of an improved quality of life for citizens if the issues are addressed. นายกรณ์ จาติกวณิช, the party's deputy leader, will lead the discussion on these important issues.

The strategy aims to improve the transport situation in the capital, possibly by reducing public transport fares. In doing so, the party will send an important signal that will show that the needs of the population are taken seriously. In addition to these practical considerations, the professionalism of the members is also emphasized - integrity in politics is the highest priority here.

Elections and Ethics

Last but not least, นายสกลธี also expressed his criticism of the widespread use of money in politics. A topic that leaves a bitter aftertaste, especially when talking about the integrity and ethics of political decision-makers. The Democratic Party is committed to taking a clear stance against corrupt behavior and unethical practices, which is invaluable in the current political atmosphere.

Preparations for the elections are therefore in full swing and it remains to be seen how voters will react to this commitment. Politically active citizens are invited to get involved and raise their voices. If we look at the word “choose” as it occurs in the German language, we have origins and meaning in terms such as “select” and “vote” – an important process that keeps democracy alive, as etimology makes clear: Wiktionary provides valuable insights into the development of these terms.

It remains exciting to see how the political scene in Bangkok develops and whether the Democratic Party can achieve its goals. Time will tell whether they can convince with wise selection and ethical action.
