Pritam Singh stays on as opposition Workers’ Party chief after special cadre meeting

Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh has returned unopposed in the party’s internal elections, following a secret vote among cadres yesterday (Sunday). The party says he secured a “super majority” in the vote, held amid internal dissent linked to the fallout from former MP Raeesah Khan’s lies to Parliament. Analysts say the result strengthens Mr Singh’s position, while putting the spotlight on party unity and leadership renewal. For more, we’re joined by Associate Professor Eugene Tan from the SMU School of Law. He provides his analysis on the outcome of the WP internal elections, how significant the result is, and whether there might be lingering questions around unity and accountability.
