WP, PSP and SDP to reveal plans later after studying boundary changes

The confirmation of electoral boundaries is a critical part of election preparations and the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) report contains some brief justifications for redrawing boundaries, the Workers' Party (WP) said.

The WP, in a statement after the EBRC report was released on March 11, said these justifications include population growth of certain electoral districts.

"We note there are significant changes to areas where WP has been working consistently for the last few years," it said, without naming the areas.

It added that it will share more information with the public in due course on the likely constituencies it will contest and its potential candidates.

The WP has been walking the ground in at least eight constituencies, including Tampines GRC and Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.

Three polling districts in Tampines West, comprising 3,834 voters, will be moved from the WP-held Aljunied GRC to the People's Action Party-held Tampines GRC in the upcoming general election.

Sengkang GRC and Hougang SMC - both held by the WP - were left largely intact after the latest redrawing of boundaries.
