The PAP has fielded candidates in all constituencies across Singapore to make sure every voter has a choice, Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean said on April 25 during a walkabout in Aljunied GRC.

To this end, the party has sent a young, strong team to the constituency, he added.

The minister, who is not contesting in the 2025 General Election, was with the PAP team for a walkabout in the WP-held constituency at the Bedok 538 Market and Food Centre.

At the close of Nomination Day, a walkover was declared in Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC, which the WP had decided not to contest, sparking unhappiness among some voters who were looking forward to voting.

Without referring to this, he told the media during the walkabout: "We field candidates in every constituency in Singapore, good credible candidates... to make sure that every voter has a choice. We don't give up any constituency."

Later, when asked directly about the walkover, he said: "On Nomination Day, we want to make sure that we offer candidates in every constituency, so that every Singaporean can have the opportunity to vote for a PAP candidate."
