A new opposition party is in the running and it’s none other than Red Dot United (RDU), a breakaway group from Progress Singapore Party (PSP).
Its application was submitted on May 26 and approved on Monday (June 15) by the Ministry of Home Affairs’ (MHA) Registry of Societies (ROS), according to reports. The process took just three weeks, which is shorter than the average processing time of two months.
With its successful application, RDU becomes the 13th political party that has been approved to take part in the next General Election (GE), which could happen as early as next month, according to observers.
RDU is helmed by former PSP members, 52-year-old Ravi Philemon and 43-year-old Michelle Lee, who quit the Dr Tan Cheng Bock-led party earlier this year. Philemon resigned on May 12 citing family commitments, while Lee quit on March 5 saying she wanted to spend more time with her family.
