SINGAPORE - The PAP will field 32 new candidates in the upcoming general election , the largest batch of fresh faces in decades, as part of a national leadership renewal.
Thirteen women candidates will make their electoral debuts on the PAP ticket , up from the 10 introduced at the 2020 polls, as the ruling party fields more women than ever before.
