PM Wong to lead PAP team in Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC

He says constituency's slate will remain but there will be significant changes elsewhere

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will once again lead the People's Action Party team in Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC in the coming election, in his first trip to the polls as PM.

He will be accompanied by the same slate of incumbents, namely Senior Minister of State for Defence and Manpower Zaqy Mohamad, 50; North West District Mayor Alex Yam, 43; and Ms Hany Soh, 37.

PM Wong, 52, announced the make-up of the team defending his home turf in a press conference at PAP's Limbang branch in Choa Chu Kang on April 12.

This is the first of the party's official full-slate introductions ahead of the 2025 General Election, with more expected in the coming days.

"The team in Marsiling-Yew Tee has not changed, but there will be more significant changes elsewhere," said PM Wong, who is also secretary-general of the PAP.

In the 2020 General Election, Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC's slate, first unveiled at a walkabout in Marsiling a month before the polls - also remained the same.

But the line-up for each constituency is set in stone only on Nomination Day, when parties reveal the final slate of candidates.
