Mr Tan Kin Lian said that he did not want to split the votes of Singaporeans who prefer an “independent” candidate.
Presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian said on Thursday that he will withdraw his bid for Singapore's highest office if Mr George Goh qualifies as a candidate.
Mr Tan's comment comes after both men had made back and forth statements over the past week regarding the possibility of one of them stepping aside should both men qualify to run. Mr Tan said he will not submit his nomination forms if the committee declares that all four hopefuls are eligible, adding that this was his intention all along.
