At the last General Election, the WP fielded a total of 21 candidates, down from 28 during GE2015.
The party contested GE2020 in Hougang and Punggol West SMCs and Sengkang, Aljunied, East Coast and Marine Parade GRCs – all constituencies located in the east or northeast of Singapore.
The WP held on to and increased its margin of support in Hougang SMC and Aljunied GRC, as well as gained four new seats in Parliament with its win in Sengkang GRC.
WP could contest in the newly created Punggol GRC as well as constituencies in longtime stomping ground Tampines, as part of a continued eastern and northeastern push, party insiders and analysts told CNA previously.
The party on Thursday did not confirm where it will be contesting.
