SINGAPORE — Former Presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian announced on Sunday (July 30) that he had submitted his application for a certificate of eligibility for the 2023 Presidential Election.
"I did not collect the form from the election department because I was able to download the form earlier from the website of the election department," he said, adding that he had earlier submitted his community declaration.
Among the four potential 2023 Presidential candidates, Mr Tan said he believes that former senior minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam and himself"meet the full requirements as set out in the constitution". Mr Tan also said that he will wait for the decision of the Presidential Election Committee on the final slate of approved candidates before deciding on submitting the nomination paper.
To qualify, the prospective candidate must have held a senior public office or helmed a company that has at least S$500 million in shareholders' equity for at least three years.
