SINGAPORE: Following the release of the Electoral Boundary Review Committee (EBRC) report on Tuesday (March 11), several opposition parties have swiftly staked their claims to various constituencies. However, the Workers’ Party, Singapore Democratic Party and the Progress Singapore Party have yet to make their moves.

While the three opposition parties have responded to the EBRC report, they said they will further study it before revealing which constituencies they will contest in the upcoming general election, which must be held by  November this year.

In a media release, the Workers’ Party said: “The report contains some brief justifications for the redrawing of boundaries, such as the population growth of certain electoral districts. We note there are significant changes to areas where WP has been working consistently for the last few years.

“WP will share more information with the public in due course on the likely constituencies we will contest and our potential candidates,” added the WP.

In the 2020 election, WP won the newly-created Sengkang Group Representation Constituency (GRC), while successfully defending Hougang Single Member Constituency (SMC), and Aljunied GRC.

Going beyond its own wards, the party has continued its community outreach with residents in East Coast GRC, Marine Parade GRC (now renamed Marine Parade—Braddell Heights GRC), and Tampines, constituencies held by the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP).
