SINGAPORE – Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh has laid out his party’s plan to woo voters in the upcoming election, saying it will field quality candidates who will ask tough questions in Parliament and manage their town councils well.
These candidates will come from a range of backgrounds and also life experience, he added without naming any of them.
He said he believes they will become competent MPs who “will do Singapore and our people proud”.
In his speech at the WP’s annual members forum on Sunday (Jan 19), Mr Singh rallied party members to ready themselves for the coming general election, including some who are tipped to be new candidates.
He also made his pitch for why Singaporeans should vote for the WP. The party’s value proposition for voters, he said, is that it can ensure a better balanced Parliament.
To that end, it is important for the party to have at least one-third of the elected seats, so that the People’s Action Party cannot change the Constitution at its pleasure like it can today, he added.
While the general election is due by April next year, it is widely expected to happen this year.
