The Coalition is an informal political alliance in Singapore consisting of National Solidarity Party, Singapore People's Party and Singapore United Party. It was formed in October 2023.[1]
The alliance had no dominant party or leader but the Red Dot United, a previous component party, served as the secretariat for administrative purposes.[1]
On 12 April 2025, RDU withdrew from the Coalition, citing concerns over other member parties' lack of commitment to avoiding three-cornered fights.[2]
Ideology
The alliance sought to provide checks and balances and reduce two-thirds majority held by the People's Action Party in the government.[1] Its manifesto will likely focus on bread-and-butter issues, including inflation, cost of living and wages.[1]
