The Workers' Party has confirmed that it will contest the Punggol East by-election but will unveil its candidate at a later date, said WP secretary-general Low Thia Khiang on Wednesday night.

The party is ready for the campaign and has even prepared its logistics, he said.

He declined to comment on a possible multi-cornered fight but said that as far as he knows, there are no pow-wow sessions among the opposition parties scheduled yet.
