Yossanan Declares No One Knows Everything, Ready to Bridge Thai People's Potential

On January 30, 2026, Yossanan Wongswasdi, a Pheu Thai Party prime ministerial candidate, posted a message on Facebook addressing concerns from respected colleagues who worry that Thailand might be losing a good scientist in exchange for another politician. He listened to all their words and concerns with goodwill, but wanted to explain his intentions from the heart: his scientific spirit has never disappeared. On the contrary, it remains his guiding compass. He believes in data, questioning, and research, and most importantly, believes that when new facts emerge, we must be flexible and brave enough to change our thinking without abandoning our core principles. Yossanan argues that today's national crisis is too complex to solve with mere 'feelings' or 'rhetoric'. Our only path forward is to stand on scientific and technological principles to remain stable and not lose our way. Throughout his life as a professor, researcher, and university administrator, he has seen the 'diamonds' hidden within Thai people. We have world-class personnel and excellent research ready to transform lives, but what we lack is a bridge – a way to transfer knowledge from laboratories to farmers, factories, schools, and people's livelihoods. For him, politics is not about abandoning scientific principles, but about creating bridges that can transport knowledge across obstacles, transforming theories into practical policies and people's suffering into smiles. Thailand's challenges today are too difficult for any single person to solve. No one is good at everything, and no hero can succeed alone. Problems require coordinating diverse expertise, and differences in thinking are not obstacles but mechanisms that make us more careful. Yossanan and the Pheu Thai Party are not just seeing problems, but pathways forward. They are ready to be a bridge, connecting and drawing out the potential of Thai people from all sectors to help the country overcome its difficulties. Regardless of profession or status, they aim to build a bridge of hope, forming Team Thailand to transform knowledge into well-being and hopes into reality.
