Previous Nominated Member of Parliament Raj Joshua Thomas has stated that he will not run for office in the future general election.
” A bit has been said since I left my position as an NMP. I have listened to and appreciated these viewpoints. He said in a Twitter post on Thursday ( Loan 17 ),” I acknowledge that many of them are good, even if I do not agree with all of them.”
In the future standard votes, I won’t be running.
Instead, I’ve been focusing on the ground and aiming for first, so I’ve been trying to earn my bands.
Dr. Syed Harun Alhabsyi and Mr. Thomas were one of two NMPs who resigned on February 14, causing speculation that they might run in the future May 3 vote.
After joining the People’s Action Party ( PAP ), Mr. Thomas later confirmed that he is a potential candidate for the party. Dr. Syed Harun has since since confirmed this.
In Nee Immediately GRC, Dr. Syed Harun has been seen walking the floor while he is likely to contest.
In addition to Dr. Syed Harun and seven people, Mr. Thomas was initially acquitted as an NMP in January 2021 and reappointed in July 2023.
Mr. Thomas stated in his resignation notice that he would continue to give Singapore and its citizens the best of his ability.
He wrote,” I am considering doing so in a different way, in which case it would be suitable for me to resign as an NMP at this time.”
