GE2025: 'No credible opposition' party in Radin Mas, says independent candidate Darryl Lo
SINGAPORE - Independent candidate Darryl Lo, who is contesting Radin Mas SMC, will not hold physical rallies, will distribute 15,000 fliers and will put up 200 posters with a team of 12 volunteers.
And while he acknowledged he has no political presence, he said he is going solo as there is no credible opposition in his constituency.
Mr Lo is one of two independent candidates standing for election when Singaporeans go to the polls on May 3.
The other is Mr Jeremy Tan, who is contesting Mountbatten SMC.
Both men are first-time candidates, and plan to be full-time MPs if elected.
On Nomination Day on April 23, Mr Lo, 28, told The Straits Times: «I always have the belief that sometimes an underdog may emerge successful. And I hope the residents see my perseverance and hard work.»
He will be up against incumbent PAP MP Melvin Yong, 53, and People's Alliance for Reform's (PAR) Kumar Appavoo, 56.
There are 25,497 voters in Radin Mas.
