Workers' Party said to be eyeing four GRCs and Hougang single seat

The Workers' Party looks to have set its sights on five constituencies in the upcoming general election, half the number it contested in 2015.

While the party continued to cover the ground in most of these areas in the past five years, it has narrowed its focus as the deadline for the coming election drew nearer. In the past few days, volunteers and members in party blues were spotted knocking on doors and giving out fliers in Bedok Reservoir, Punggol, Paya Lebar, Serangoon and Anchorvale, for instance.

In the coming election, it will be going into battle for the first time with secretary-general Pritam Singh at the helm, after he took over from long-time party chief Low Thia Khiang in 2018.
