The Workers' Party (WP) held its press conference at its party headquarters on Wednesday, Aug. 26 to unveil its first batch of potential candidates.

This batch includes fresh faces such as engineer Redzwan Hafidz, 30, National University of Singapore associate professor of sociology Daniel Goh, 42, and RHB Bank wealth manager Dylan Ng, 40.

Another potential candidate is software engineer Koh Choong Yong, 42, who contested and lost in Sengkang West Single Member Constituency in 2011.

Here are the five things that we learnt at the press conference:

1. If new candidates appear alongside Low Thia Khiang, they will be made to feel like chopped liver by the media

Throughout the press conference, both WP chief Low Thia Khiang and chairwoman Sylvia Lim had to repeatedly request for the media to direct their questions to the newer potential candidates.

Low was asked about succession in the WP, fear factor in Singapore politics, the party's new slogan and a series of other questions pertaining to WP's election strategy and even the elusive idea of opposition unity.

This is due to the fact that gaining access to Low has always been difficult.

2. Low gives all candidates equal air time, but the public democratically chooses who they are interested in

Even though the focus was on Low, the public ultimately decides who they are keen to hear from.

Thank goodness for the Internet, because this is where it shows clearly which potential candidate managed to capture the public's attention, according to the number of views for their intro video:
