SINGAPORE — The founder and chairman of the opposition Progress Singapore Party , Dr Tan Cheng Bock, said at a press conference on Saturday that he is ready to run in the next general election.
Saturday's press conference, which set out PSP's directions for the next GE, came after the PSP voted in its new central executive committee in March. When asked if the alliance it envisages will include the Workers' Party , Dr Tan said: "We also must remember that the WP is so much older than us, more than 60 years. We only have four years.During the 2020 General Election, PSP contested in nine constituencies for 24 seats, but failed to win any.
But it will "most probably" contest in the same constituencies, and could also field a similar number of candidates, he said. This includes more "progressive" issues such as freedom of information and diversity, and also social safety nets, she added.
