PE 2023: Workers' Party says it is not endorsing any candidate, as it reiterates objection to elected presidency

SINGAPORE — The Workers' Party (WP) on Wednesday (Aug 30) said that it does not endorse any candidate in the upcoming presidential elections and reiterated its objection to the elected presidency.

The WP also said that it has consistently voiced its objection to and called for the abolishment of the elected presidency and to revert to a ceremonial presidency, and that it had been the party’s position for over three decades.
