SINGAPORE: The Workers’ Party (WP) said on Sunday (December 27) that it has elected several members of Parliament by Sengkang GRC to its Central Executive Committee (CEC).
They are Ms. He Ting Ru, Dr. Jamus Lim, Ms. Raeesah Khan, and Mr. Louis Chua Kheng Wee.
Also elected to the CEC were Ms. Nicole Seah and Mr. Kenneth Foo, who were part of the WP team that lost East Coast GRC to the People’s Action Party in this year’s General Election.
These were the last moves in the central leadership of the opposition party, which continues to renew its ranks after a change of secretary general two years ago, when Low handed over the reins to opposition leader Pritam Singh.
Sylvia Lim remains president of WP, while Singh was re-elected as general secretary.
Former WP Low Director Thia Khiang has been re-elected as a member of the CEC, while former MP Chen Show Mao has resigned.
