The crowded opposition scene has 10 parties vying for seats this GE. Two are out of the race — the Democratic Progressive Party will sit out this election to avoid three-cornered fights, while the Singaporeans First party has disbanded. Singapore Democratic Alliance secretary-general Desmond Lim said that he had managed to reach Mr Lim Tean, who heads the Peoples Voice party, late yesterday, requesting that he withdraw from contesting in the Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency . But Lim Tean had insisted on it, he said.
“The main talks about cooperation among opposition or alternative parties are not from the chat group, but one-to-one conversations,” he said. Because RP has resolved most of its clashes, it does not need the regular opposition roundtable talks that happen before the election. Zhu, however, acknowledged that it is “much better” to have everyone around the table so that the intentions of all parties are clear.
