GE2025: AMK GRC heading for 3-cornered fight after 2 opposition parties fail to strike deal
Ang Mo Kio GRC is poised for a three-cornered fight in the upcoming polls after two opposition parties failed to reach a deal on which one will face off against the PAP.
Singapore United Party (SUP) secretary-general Andy Zhu said his party is adamant about contesting the ward despite the presence of a “third party”.
The third party is the People’s Power Party (PPP), which has indicated that it will also field a team in Ang Mo Kio GRC, to be led by party treasurer William Lim.
Speaking to reporters during a walkabout in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 on April 10, Mr Zhu, 42, said the SUP tried to broker a deal with PPP secretary-general Goh Meng Seng, but the two parties could not agree on which side will pull out.
“I have spoken to him, and he will take the matter back to his team to deliberate... We do hope that PPP will recede from here,” said Mr Zhu, a property agent.
In response to queries, Mr Goh said he had a short discussion with Mr Zhu, but there is no resolution in sight.
PPP has also shown interest in Tampines GRC, where the Workers’ Party and National Solidarity Party (NSP) are likely to contest.
