2026 Election Sports Policy: Democrat Party Promotes 'Sports Science' 2026 Election Sports Policy: Democrat Party Promotes 'Sports Science'
On 2 Feb 2026, we examine the Democrat Party's sports policies ahead of the general election and referendum, which will be held simultaneously at the same polling stations on Sunday, 8 Feb 2026, from 08:00 to 17:00.
The Democrat Party, led by 61-year-old Abhisit Vejjajiva, party leader and prime ministerial candidate, emphasizes that "sports" should not be separated as it connects to all sectors including education, entertainment, tourism, and the economy, all of which can jointly drive value creation effectively.
The policies are divided into four key points:
1. Restructure the Ministry of Tourism and Sports for clarity and more efficient operations.
2. Offer a 'buffet' style education curriculum that addresses the needs of the new generation, encompassing sports, education, and the arts.
3. Support sports science, which is crucial for athlete development.
4. Create sports heroes and nurture champions across generations.
