Workers' Party's Andre Low & Eileen Chong promise to bring S'poreans' voices to parliament as NCMPs
The pair were declared NCMPs by the Elections Department just a day before.

The Workers' Party's (WP) Andre Low and Eileen Chong took to Facebook to thank their team and residents a day after the pair were declared Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs) by the Elections Department.
Low and Chong said they were grateful for the opportunity, and pledged to use their positions to bring fresh perspectives to important national conversations.
Andre Low
Low said he was humbled to be given this opportunity and pledged to use the NCMP platform to continue to advocate for a more balanced and diverse political system.
Saying he looked forward to working alongside Chong, he added that he could not have asked for a better NCMP mate.
Low also promised the residents of Jalan Kayu that WP will be back on the ground very soon, noting that this privilege is down to the hard work of their volunteers, who gave their time and energy to WP's campaign.
"Your dedication and belief in a more balanced political landscape made this possible," said Low, adding that he and his WP colleagues will continue to ask the hard questions to hold Singapore's leaders to account.
"But as always, we are Singaporeans first and foremost, and we remain committed to working collaboratively across the aisle when the occasion calls for it, to build a Singapore that works for everyone," he said.
Eileen Chong
Chong said it was an honour to serve as NCMP alongside Low and the WP MPs in the 15th Parliament of Singapore.
She also thanked her Tampines GRC teammates — Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap, Michael Thng, Jimmy Tan, Ong Lue Ping — as well as Tampines Changkat SMC candidate Kenneth Foo.
Taking time to also thank the WP volunteers who have walked the ground years prior, and the Tampines residents for making this possible, Chong said she hopes to continue listening to Singaporeans' concerns, struggles, and hopes for a better Singapore in the months and years ahead.
"I will serve with conviction and integrity, and work hard to earn your trust," she wrote.
"This journey is not mine alone - it's ours together. I look forward to being your voice in Parliament while journeying alongside you to build a fairer, more compassionate, and inclusive Singapore," said Chong.
Received highest percentage of votes among the unelected opposition
Low received the highest percentage of votes among the unelected opposition candidates, losing to People's Action Party (PAP) Ng Chee Meng by obtaining 48.53 per cent of the votes in Jalan Kayu SMC.
WP's team in Tampines GRC, consisting of Faisal Manap, Eileen Chong, Ong Lue Ping, Tan Khim Tech, and Michael Thng, received the second-highest percentage of votes among the unelected opposition.
The WP team received 47.37 per cent of the votes in Tampines GRC, losing to the PAP team led by Masagos Zulkifli, Baey Yam Keng, Koh Poh Koon, David Neo, and Charlene Chen.
On May 18, the WP Tampines GRC team informed the returning officer of their decision to nominate Chong as the candidate to be declared elected as NCMP.
Chong's appointment also meant that Faisal, previously an MP for Aljunied GRC, would not be returning to Parliament.
Faisal was an MP for Aljunied from 2011 to 2025 before he was moved to the WP team contesting Tampines GRC.
Speaking at a rally on Apr. 26, he said the move was to allow WP to continue its role in creating "an effective system of government."
Under the Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) scheme, the best-performing losing opposition candidates are offered NCMP seats to make up the shortfall if there are fewer than 12 opposition MPs elected.
The WP won 10 seats and have filled the two NCMP seats.
WP said in a statement on Facebook: "The Workers’ Party remains steadfast in our mission of working for Singapore, and all WP Members of Parliament (MPs) will carry forward the Workers’ Party’s longstanding mission to represent the interests of all Singaporeans, hold the government to account, and advance reasoned, principled debate in parliament."
