MR KENNETH Jeyaretnam, the elder son of late opposition leader J.B. Jeyaretnam, has joined the opposition ranks and is not ruling out contesting the next general election.

Three weeks ago, he joined the Reform Party, which was set up by his father a few months before he died last September.

The 50-year-old hedge fund manager was co-opted into the party's 13-man central executive committee (CEC) a week later.
