THE new candidates of the People's Action Party (PAP) for the upcoming general election are likely to be introduced in 'quick succession' and probably with up to three batches unveiled this week, said party sources on Sunday.
At this rate, the schedule could match that of the 2006 election when 24 candidates were unveiled over the course of 22 days.
The speed of the introductions is regarded by some as a possible indicator of when Polling Day may be. The faster the PAP introduces candidates, the sooner the polls.
Five years ago, the first batch of PAP candidates was introduced on March 23, six weeks before the election.
Ahead of the impending announcements, PAP ministers on Sunday weighed in on the party's new slate.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said on Sunday the new line-up was representative of Singapore, adding the newcomers have lived the Singapore story.
