History & political developments
On 26 May 2020, former Progress Singapore Party (PSP) members Ravi Philemon and Michelle Lee, together with other former members of other political parties submitted an application to form the Red Dot United to the Registry of Societies.[4]
Although the average processing time for a registration application is two months,[4] the party received approval on 15 June 2020, three weeks after application, in what appeared to be an expedited process.[2]
The party intended to contest in the 2020 Singaporean general election,[2] and had put forward candidates to contest in the Jurong Group Representation Constituency.[5]
