Singapore’s main opposition Workers’ Party retains Pritam Singh as its secretary-general after a vote of no confidence within the party, according to reports citing insiders. Singh, who has led the party since 2018, faces a special conference called on Sunday morning by 25 party cadres. They sought to remove him, alleging he breached the party constitution. The party leadership votes to keep Singh as chief following that internal process, and he is also re-elected as secretary-general at the party’s biennial ordinary congress, Bloomberg reports. Both outlets describe the decision as Singh’s biggest internal test since he took over the party in 2018. Bloomberg adds that the vote takes place against the backdrop of Singh’s recent legal convictions for lying to a parliamentary committee. The reports do not indicate that the party constitution challenge succeeded, and they frame the outcome as Singh surviving the internal call for his resignation. The Workers’ Party continues to operate with Singh remaining in the top leadership role following the no-confidence vote.
