Even before a single vote was cast and before he had any notion of whether he would be returning to Parliament, Progress Singapore Party (PSP) chief Tan Cheng Bock was already talking about succession in the party leadership.
At his last press conference of the campaign, he had made clear that his party – just a year old and on its first electoral outing – would not “run away” regardless of what happened.
Dr Tan stressed that the party must have an internal succession plan, though he added that it must not be rushed.
With the results this morning, which saw the PSP not winning a single seat in the next Parliament, the succession question has become more urgent.
The PSP’s A team barely lost the much anticipated West Coast GRC contest with 48.31 per cent of the votes, and the party put up a positive showing in the other three group representation constituencies and five single-member constituencies it contested, averaging almost 40 per cent.
