[SINGAPORE] The opposition Workers’ Party (WP) introduced three more people that it plans to field at the polls, including two lawyers and a digital strategist in the financial services and payment sector.

The press briefing on Saturday (Apr 19), the third in as many days, was held at its headquarters in Geylang, ahead of the May 3 general election.

The WP did not indicate which constituencies the candidates will be fielded in. The trio are:

• Harpreet Singh Nehal, managing partner at law firm Audent Chambers and senior counsel;

• Sufyan Mikhail Putra Mohd Kamil, a former associate director at Abdul Rahman Law Corporation, who stepped down to contest the election; and

• Jasper Kuan, the Asia-Pacific product lead for disputes resolution at Visa Worldwide.

Nomination Day is on Apr 23, and the WP is expected to introduce more candidates in the following days, with 17 of them expected to make their political debut.

Over the last three days, the WP has introduced 11 candidates, bringing the tally of WP members taking part in the election to 19 so far, after including incumbent MPs from Aljunied GRC, Sengkang GRC and the Hougang single seat.

The Straits Times expects the WP to contest about 31 out of 97 parliamentary seats this election.
