Early life and education
Low was the only child in his family; both his parents were teachers working for the Ministry of Education.[1] He studied at University College London, graduating as third in his cohort and earning a Bachelor of Laws, and also holds a Master of Business Administration from INSEAD.[2]
Pre-political career
Low first worked as a dispute lawyer with Drew & Napier, under the mentorship of senior counsel Davinder Singh. He then moved to the start-up sector where he developed products in legal-tech, urban mobility and health-tech, before joining Amazon Web Services and subsequently becoming a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group. He now works as a product manager in a fintech company.[2][3]
Political career
Low joined the WP in 2020, and served as a secretarial assistant to Louis Chua, elected MP for Sengkang Group Representation Constituency (GRC), for about three years.[2][3] He became a member of the party's media team in 2023.[2]
On 18 April 2025, Low was unveiled as part of a group of new WP candidates for the 2025 general election.[3] He made his political debut in the newly created Jalan Kayu Single Member Constituency (SMC) against Ng Chee Meng, the candidate for the governing People's Action Party (PAP). Ng had been a cabinet minister and MP for Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC; however, he was defeated by the WP when leading a team for the newly created Sengkang GRC in 2020.[4]
During the campaigning period of the election, several private chat messages allegedly texted by Low surfaced on Reddit and Facebook. These messages allegedly showed him voicing discontent on a variety of subjects, some including the use of profanity. In response, Low apologised for his "completely inappropriate" language, stating that he was "not proud of the way [he] expressed [his] views" and that "there [was] no excuse for using such language or making disparaging comments about anyone – especially those who [had] placed their trust in [him]".[5]
On polling day, Low lost to Ng by 809 votes;[6] this was the smallest victory margin by a PAP candidate in the general election. Being the best-performing defeated opposition candidate, Low became eligible for an NCMP seat.[7][8] On 19 May, the WP announced that he would become an NCMP alongside Eileen Chong, one of five WP candidates for Tampines GRC.[9]
In June 2025, Low was co-opted, as the deputy head of the media team, to the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the WP alongside Chong, Abdul Muhaimin and Kenneth Tiong.[10]
Personal life
Low is married and expecting a child as of April 2025. His interests include skiing, building Legos and electronics. Low is also an amateur beatboxer.[2]
