The Workers’ Party (WP) of Singapore has announced its newly appointed office bearers, gearing up for the next general election following internal polls held in June. Among the key appointments is Sengkang GRC Member of Parliament (MP) Jamus Lim, who has been named the president of the party’s youth wing. His colleague, Louis Chua, will lead the media team, succeeding former Aljunied GRC MP Leon Perera in this role.

In an official statement released on July 17, 2024, the WP revealed that lawyer Fadli Fawzi has been co-opted as one of the four deputy organising secretaries. Fawzi previously represented the WP in Marine Parade GRC during the last election.

The media team has also welcomed former Punggol East MP Lee Li Lian as its deputy head. Lee, who had previously taken a break from the central executive committee (CEC) for four years, was elected back into the CEC and is currently serving as a town councillor on the Sengkang Town Council.

The new appointments were confirmed during a CEC meeting on July 16, shortly after the committee’s election on June 30. Most of the positions within the committee remain unchanged from the previous leadership, with Pritam Singh re-elected as secretary-general and Sylvia Lim continuing as chair.

Other members retaining their roles include Aljunied GRC MP Faisal Manap as vice-chair and Sengkang GRC MP He Ting Ru as treasurer. Former Marine Parade GRC candidate Nathaniel Koh continues as deputy treasurer, while Hougang MP Dennis Tan remains the organising secretary. Aljunied GRC MP Gerald Giam retains his position as head of policy research, with Dr. Lim serving as deputy head of policy research.

Former East Coast GRC candidate Kenneth Foo, Ang Boon Yaw, and Tan Kong Soon will continue in their roles as deputy organising secretaries, contributing to the party’s ongoing efforts and preparations for the upcoming electoral challenges. Low Thia Khiang, the former party chief, was also re-elected as a member of the CEC without a specific appointment.
