Perspective
In June 2023, PV leader Lim Tean announced the formation of the People's Alliance with the Reform Party (RP), the People's Power Party (PPP), and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). The four parties would contest the upcoming 2025 general election as an alliance. Lim was appointed Secretary-General, RP Secretary-General Kenneth Jeyaretnam was appointed Chairman, and PPP Secretary-General Goh Meng Seng was appointed Organising Secretary.[1]
On 22 February 2025, the PPP withdrew from the alliance due to "strategic differences" within the alliance, particularly regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and contesting Tampines GRC.[2]
After the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee released its report on 11 March 2025, Secretary-General Lim Tean announced on Facebook that the party plans to contest 10 constituencies: Jalan Kayu SMC, Potong Pasir SMC, Mountbatten SMC, Radin Mas SMC, Queenstown SMC, Kebun Baru SMC, Marymount SMC, Yio Chu Kang SMC, Jalan Besar GRC and Tanjong Pagar GRC.[3] PAR eventually contested in six constituencies: Jalan Besar GRC, Tanjong Pagar GRC, Potong Pasir SMC, Queenstown SMC, Radin Mas SMC and Yio Chu Kang SMC.[4]
PAR failed to win any constituency and lost its election deposit at Potong Pasir SMC and Radin Mas SMC as it failed to garner at least 12.5 percent of the votes there.[5] The party also handed the PAP its biggest victory in the elections in Queenstown SMC.[6]
