Lawyer M Ravi has chosen blogger Han Hui Hui, 23, and two of his legal interns – Charles Yeo, 24, and Liew Zheng Yang, 23 – have confirmed they would be part of his team.
He had considered blogger and socio-political activist Roy Ngerng initially, but later felt the 33-year-old was not suitable as he was “too impulsive”.
Mr Ravi says he is planning to contest in Ang Mo Kio GRC as he has friends and relatives living there.
Mr Ravi is representing Ngerng and Han in a criminal case, for their roles in a Hong Lim Park protest on Sept 27.
Separately, he is also representing Ngerng in a defamation suit brought by PM Lee.
When asked why he chose not to join an existing party, Mr Ravi said he did not trust any of them.
But, he added, he will stay away from any constituency that is being contested by the Reform Party or Singapore Democratic Party.
On what he hopes to achieve in politics, he said his plans include giving free health care to all, lifting all online media regulations and abolishing the death penalty – a cause he has championed for more than 10 years.
