The People's Action Party (PAP) has selected Mr. Xie Yao Quan to represent them in the newly established Jurong Central single-seat ward for the upcoming General Election.
Jurong Central, a newly formed Single Member Constituency (SMC), will have 29,620 voters. It is one of six new SMCs created after the most recent review of Singapore's electoral boundaries.
The announcement of Mr. Xie's candidacy was made on Monday, along with the unveiling of candidates for both Jurong Central SMC and the neighboring Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC.
Mr. Xie currently serves as the Member of Parliament for the Jurong Central division within the existing Jurong GRC, a position he has held since his initial election in 2020. He has also been the chairman of the Jurong-Clementi Town Council for the past five years.
At the press conference, Mr. Xie stated that he has spent the last five years actively engaging with residents and dedicating himself to serving their needs.
