The People's Action Party has assigned Firdaus Daud, a reserve candidate, to represent the Kembangan ward following Faishal Ibrahim's resignation from political office and Parliament last month.
LSN Singapore ·
Firdaus Daud has been deployed to the Kembangan ward, filling the vacancy created by Faishal Ibrahim's departure from the People's Action Party and his resignation from Parliament approximately one month ago.
Faishal's exit marked a significant development in the PAP's grassroots representation, prompting the party to activate its bench of reserve candidates to maintain continuity in the constituency.
The deployment of reserve candidates is a standard practice within the PAP's organisational framework, ensuring that wards maintain active political representation during transitions. Firdaus's assignment to Kembangan signals the party's commitment to sustaining its presence in the division despite the recent change in leadership.
The ward, which has been a consistent PAP stronghold, will now be represented by Firdaus as the party moves forward with its ground operations and member engagement in the constituency.
