The coalition comes after Peoples Voice (PV), the Reform Party (RP), People’s Power Party (PPP) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said in a joint statement in June that they would be forming a new alliance, called People’s Alliance.
SINGAPORE — Four opposition parties – National Solidarity Party , Red Dot United , Singapore People’s Party and Singapore United Party – entered into a non-formal political partnership as they signed a Memorandum Of Understanding on Saturday at the Copthorne King’s Hotel.
“I am happy to see SPP being part of this Coalition, and I hope it will be a positive step forward for all parties involved. I discussed this with Mr Chiam and he gave his nod to this. We all look to a good working relation with all the parties in this Coalition,” shared Mrs Chiam with The Independent Singapore.
In the previous election, the RDU contested in Jurong GRC, while the SPP contested in Potong Pasir SMC and Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. The NSP contested in Sembawang GRC and Tampines GRC, while the SUP is a new political party formed in December 2020. The next General Election is due by Nov 2025.SPP secretary-general Steve Chia explained why the four parties opted for an informal partnership instead of a formal alliance.
RDU chief Ravi Philemon added that the coming together of the four parties in this non-formal partnership is not a ‘unity of branding’ but rather a ‘unity of purpose.’“Allows the respective party to keep their individual identity and branding because we are all working in different constituencies and the needs of the constituencies may be different.
