PAP contests all 93 seats as Singapore polls sees over 190 contestants from 11 parties

Tuesday, 30 Jun 2020 09:07 PM MYT

The 192 candidates filed their papers at nine nomination centres today to contest in 17 group representation constituencies and 14 single-member constituencies . Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s younger brother Hsien Yang, who joined PSP a day after the dissolution of Parliament on June 23, is not contesting the election, thus ending speculation that he will be a candidate.

The sole independent candidate is contesting in the Pioneer SMC, the only SMC that will see a three-cornered fight in the general election. The other three-cornered fight is for the Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.
