At his walkabout at People’s Park Food Centre on Sunday, Mr Tan was joined by Progress Singapore Party’s chairman Dr Tan Cheng Bock and his proposer Mr Tan Jee Say, a member of the Singapore Democratic Party.
All three men were candidates in the 2011 Presidential Election, when they lost to Dr Tony Tan.
Dr Tan Cheng Bock gave Mr Tan his endorsement for the 2023 Presidential Election, saying that this was in his “personal capacity” and that he was “not here as a politician for this election”.
The other two presidential candidates – former GIC chief investment officer Ng Kok Song and former Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam – have also held campaigning activities on a daily basis since Nomination Day.
The three candidates will answer questions in a live presidential forum broadcast on CNA at 9pm on Monday. They will also deliver campaign messages in a second presidential candidate broadcast on Wednesday evening.
On Friday, more than 2.7 million Singaporeans will head to the polls to vote in the country’s first contested Presidential Election since 2011.
