THE PRESIDENT’S PART IN LEADERSHIP TRANSITION
Management succession and renewal will also be prominent topics in the upcoming general election. At the National Day Rally in August, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong declared that succession ideas that had been derailed by the pandemic are now back on track.
Lawrence Wong, the deputy prime minister, may take advantage of Mr. Tharman’s counsel and advice if the PAP holds onto power in the upcoming general election. On Saturday, Mr. Tharman stated that he recognizes the government’s part in this change in leadership and that was one of the motivations behind his nomination for the position.
According to Mr. Tharman,” Sydney society and politics are changing, and I believe we can make that work.” The president and the new prime minister does have a positive relationship.
In the face of a more diverse and competitive social landscape, the Tharman presidency does serve as an additional anchor for balance and unity during the democratic transition.
National ELECTION IN Republican Conditions WAS NOT SEEN BY VOTERS.
Singaporeans abandoned their political allegiances and did not cast political ballots in this year’s presidential vote. Help from all political parties was needed for Mr. Tharman’s impressive performance.
Citizens today have a better understanding of the functions and authority of government thanks to the more focused efforts made on public education in the lead-up to voting.
Simply put, voters refused to view the election in terms of political partisanship because the president is not intended to be a substitute for political strength. Rather, they concentrated on the candidates’ backgrounds, what they would take to the president, and how the two can collaborate for the benefit of Singapore and Singaporeans.
Hence, it would be gravely incorrect to infer from the election results that the ruling party should hold a general election as soon as possible. Mr. Tharman is correct when he says that the ballot results are” a vote of confidence in Singapore” rather than just” voting for him.”
Party, state, and state were not interchangeable by voters. They also didn’t view the national poll as a stand-in for the general election.
The fifth Presidential Election signals the presence of a powerful, discriminating electorate. Time is of the essence for all political parties to get ready for the next General Election with less than two decades left in the 14th Parliament’s name.
The PAP in power has their work cut out as they try to win a new mission from Singaporeans in what looks to be an important election.
Eugene K. B. Tan, a law professor at Singapore Management University, was previously nominated for the House of Representatives.
