WORKERS' Party candidate James Gomez (picture) and his team turned up to file nomination papers for the Aljunied GRC but ended up conceding a walkover to the PAP.

WP chief Low Thia Khiang said his party had to pull out because of a technicality - the candidates had not entered the name of the electoral division on their nomination forms.

According to an elections department official, the nomination papers submitted by the WP were not delivered in compliance with the law.
