The Workers’ Party’s (WP) Andre Low and Eileen Chong have been appointed as Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs) in the 15th Parliament, bringing the WP’s total parliamentary presence to 12 seats.

In a statement on May 19, the Elections Department (ELD) confirmed that returning officer Han Kok Juan had declared both candidates elected under the NCMP scheme, which guarantees a minimum of 12 opposition MPs in Parliament.

Both were first-time candidates in the 2025 election, and their entry into Parliament is seen as a signal of WP’s ongoing renewal and efforts to broaden its reach and appeal among voters.
