SINGAPORE: Three presidential hopefuls are expected to be formally nominated as candidates on Tuesday (Aug 22) for an electoral contest for the highest office in Singapore.
Former GIC chief investment officer Ng Kok Song, former NTUC Income chief executive Tan Kin Lian and former Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam have already been deemed constitutionally eligible to run for President.
All three have arrived at the People’s Association headquarters at King George’s Avenue and are filing the relevant documents.
If only one of them is nominated, he will be declared President. If multiple candidates are put forth, Singaporeans will go to the polls on Sep 1, which will be declared a public holiday.
