The People's Power Party will be fielding 10 candidates in the 2025 General Election (GE) and contest in Ang Mo Kio GRC and Tampines GRC.

During a press conference on Apr. 22, secretary-general Goh Meng Seng introduced 10 of the party’s line-up, including himself, and apologised to the Singapore United Party (SUP) and National Solidarity Party (NSP) for embarking on what looks set to be a multi-cornered fight in those constituencies.

Ang Mo Kio GRC is set to see a contest between the incumbent PAP, SUP, and PPP.

Tampines GRC is set to see a four-way fight between the incumbent PAP, NSP, WP, and PPP.

The party is focusing on population policies and governance in their election manifesto.

Previously intended to contest Nee Soon GRC

Goh previously announced that they would contest Nee Soon GRC, making reference to a "potential move" by the PAP to field a "well-known LGBTQ activist" there.

In a Facebook post, Goh pointed out that while the PPP has nothing against LGBTQ individuals, he will have to take a "firm stance" to maintain the sustainability and long-term survival of Singapore due to its small population.

They then withdrew from the competition under an agreement with Red Dot United (RDU) to avoid a three-cornered fight.
