GE2025 backup candidate Firdaus Daud to take on grassroots duties in Kembangan, Faishal Ibrahim's former ward

Singapore's Speaker of Parliament, Seah Kian Peng, announced that Ahmad Firdaus Daud, a former candidate for the People's Action Party (PAP), will take on grassroots duties in Kembangan from September 1. Firdaus, who has been a PAP member since 2016, previously expressed his willingness to stand as a candidate in the General Election.

He currently serves as the second adviser to grassroots organisations in Punggol, a role he shares with Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong. Firdaus will initially serve as second adviser in both Punggol and Kembangan, with the intention of solely focusing on Kembangan later on. Faishal Ibrahim, a former Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs who resigned from politics in July, previously oversaw the Kembangan ward.

Seah Kian Peng, who led the Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC team in GE2025, stated that Firdaus would join the team responsible for looking after Kembangan residents. The appointment aims to strengthen the team and continue serving residents in the ward.
