Sophon, Candidate for Parliamentary Speaker, Aims to Unite Old and New Generations to Advance Legislative Work

Sophon Saram, candidate for parliamentary speaker, aims to unite the older and younger generations and plans to introduce technology to develop legislative work, believing it will enhance parliamentary efficiency.


At 08:50 on 15 March 2026 GMT+7. Mr. Sophon Saram, MP for Buriram from the Bhumjaithai Party and candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives. In an interview at the parliament regarding whether serving as speaker would be a challenge, he said he wants to see a new image of parliamentary work. Currently, two generations of MPs work together, each with their own strengths. In the past, MPs had many good practices with both strengths and weaknesses, similar to the current generation. Previously, debates relied on charts, but now AI assists with work. If the valuable experiences from the past are combined with technology for parliamentary duties such as information retrieval, he believes this will make parliamentary work more efficient.
