GE2025: SDP’s 28-year wait for an elected MP continues after losses to the PAP

UPHILL BATTLE

Dr. Chee arrived at the MOE ( Evans ) Stadium’s assembly center close to 1am on Sunday. Followers and people had been gathering there for about five days prior when the elections closed.

With 38.59 % of the vote in Bukit Panjang SMC, SDP president Paul Tambyah lost to PAP candidate Liang Eng Hwa, a fight from 2020, according to the standard results.

After receiving 29.93 % of the vote in a three-cornered struggle in Sembawang GRC, the SDP’s five-member team fell to a PAP group led by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.

The SDP’s group included members Damanhuri Abas and Alfred Tan, vice-chairman Bryan Lim, assistant policy head James Gomez, manager Surayah Akbar, and deputy vice-chairman Alfred Tan.

The NSP, which previously contested in the constituency in 2020 and 2015, received the least percentage of votes ( 2.32 % ).

With 26.54 per share of the vote, the four-member SDP group in Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC lost to Lawrence Wong’s staff in the Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC.

The SDP group that included Dr. Gigene Wong, theatre director Alec Tok, and organising secretary Jufri Salim, the creator of the choice news website Wake Up Singapore Ariffin Sha, and the founder of the organization.

In 1997, three MPs, including group co-founder Chiam See Tong and Ling How Doong and Cheo Chai Chen, won the general election in which the SDP next had seats in parliament.

Dr. Chee claimed that it would have “made a change” if the PAP had waited” only another month” before calling the election after the barrier changes had been made.

” But that was not to be,” Dr. Chee continued,” I just worry about where we’re going with our social system below, our political method.”

When questioned especially about the outcome of Sembawang West SMC, he responded that it was an “uphill fight.” &nbsp,

” I’ve just heard people say,” Sometimes it’s just that,” they say,” with the area and the public.” And finally I had to walk all to Sembawang West, where it all started,” he continued.

” Prime Minister ) Lawrence Wong would have known that he would have to keep the vote just about this time, as I said. Why don’t you make your limitations public in January and February?

Dr. Chee also questioned what might prevent the PAP authorities from forming a GRC in the upcoming election to replace Sembawang West SMC.

He continued,” I think this game is so bad for Singapore.” &nbsp,

He stated that the group may take some time to relax and then conduct an analysis of the data to determine what occurred.

Since winning the Marine Parade GRC by-election in 1992, Dr. Chee has never run for office. He was invited by SDP Founder Chiam View Tong to the group that time.
