3 incumbent Jurong GRC MPs will join the 2 new candidates:

  • Tharman Shanmugaratnam
  • Tan Wu Meng
  • Rahayu Mahzam

A glaring absence from the team is Minister for Social and Family Development Desmond Lee, who has served in the constituency since 2011.

The PAP has yet to reveal where he will be contesting this election.

The PAP team is expected to go head to head against Red Dot United (RDU), who unveiled its slate of candidates for Jurong GRC last Friday (26 Jun).
