WP can move motion to fill NCMP seat: Fu

Singapore

THE Workers' Party (WP) has to move a parliamentary motion if it wants to propose someone else in place of Lee Li Lian for the Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) seat that she has declined, said Leader of the House Grace Fu on Sunday.

NCMP seats are offered to the best losers at the general election. The law provides for nine such seats, less the number of opposition MPs elected.
