Progress Singapore Party
PSP made quite the splash in the previous general election, securing the best-performing loss of the GE in West Coast GRC, which in turn propelled Hazel Poa and Leong Mun Wai into parliament as NCMPs.
During a walkabout in Taman Jurong, now part of the West Coast-Jurong West constituency, Tan Cheng Bock said this area was "not new to him", he also said the party was keeping their "options open".
So can they build on their impressive debut in the last election?
Under our established criteria, technically everyone who ran for PSP in 2020 was a new candidate back then since that was their maiden election, but who might join the still relatively new party this time round?
Angela Oon
A former WP candidate for Nee Soon in 2011, Oon has been in PSP since 2020.
