Is ESMGCT the best candidate for the ruling party to match TCB's challenge?

[PhuaTeKor]

Even MacPherson, parts of Joo Chiat and TPL also could not bring this man down, do you think TCB will stand any chance against him? Furthermore, TCB may back out if he doesn't want to face against his ex-boss in an election like TJS.

Last time, OTC stepped down as Deputy Prime Minister to contest in the first presidential election, why shouldn't GCT emulate and step down as Emeritus Senior Minister to take part in this year presidential election? Anyway, the ESM title sounds a bit odd and is much less prestigious than the 'President' title, right?

TCB is in GCT camp so this will not happen

If this is true, it will be better for the ruling party because TCB will have to step down voluntarily.

TCB and Wooden are long time friends since RI days.
They won't be contesting each other, you can be sure of that.

Interesting thing is TCB also has wood in his name. Same type of element cannot fight, so isn't it a smart move by the ruling party if they field EMSGCT as their approved candidate?
