The Workers' Party (WP) in Singapore will hold a special cadres conference on June 28 to address the future of Pritam Singh as secretary-general. Following a reprimand for lying to a parliamentary committee, Singh's leadership will be put to a secret vote if he does not voluntarily resign. A notice to party cadres indicated that the conference was prompted by a requisition from 25 members. The agenda includes Singh accounting for his conviction and a call for his resignation for breaching party constitution Article 30, which mandates honesty in dealings. The conference will be chaired by Gerald Giam, WP’s policy research head, and will take place at noon at The Exchange event space. Additionally, a biennial ordinary cadre members’ conference will occur later that day, where members will elect key leadership positions, including the secretary-general and chairperson. Singh has been re-elected unopposed since taking over in 2018, but the recent disciplinary actions have raised questions about his leadership.
