Who are the new faces who could be candidates in Singapore’s upcoming General Election?

Other fresh faces in the PAP camp include three recently appointed branch chairmen in Aljunied GRC, which has been held by WP since 2011.

Trade unionist Jagathishwaran Rajo is helming the branch in Eunos. He was an active grassroots leader in the Zhenghua ward of Holland-Bukit Timah GRC for years and was the branch secretary there before taking on his role in the east. Mr Sim is CEO and executive director of computer and electronics manufacturing firm Serial Achieva, which was listed on the Singapore Exchange Catalist in June. He is in charge of Paya Lebar.

The pair took over in August last year from predecessors who lost to the WP team in the 2020 General Election.
