Workers' Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh will lead the party's team in Aljunied GRC, alongside incumbents Sylvia Lim and Gerald Giam, and newcomers Fadli Fawzi and Kenneth Tiong. Faisal Manap, who previously represented Aljunied, will now lead a WP team in Tampines GRC. The People's Action Party (PAP) will field a team led by Chan Hui Yuh in Aljunied, consisting entirely of new candidates.
Aljunied GRC, a WP stronghold since 2011, has seen significant vote swings in previous elections. The WP's victory in 2011 was historic, while the 2015 election saw a closer contest. In 2020, WP secured a decisive victory. The upcoming election will be key in determining whether WP maintains its hold on the GRC.
The Aljunied GRC contest is particularly significant given the WP's ongoing success there and its importance as a major opposition stronghold. The election will mark a continuation of competition between the two major parties, shaping the political landscape of Singapore.
