Workers' Party

The Workers' Party (WP) is Singapore's largest opposition party. Recent news focuses on internal leadership matters and legal challenges faced by its members. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong removed WP chief Pritam Singh from his position as Leader of the Opposition, and the WP has declined to nominate a replacement. This decision follows a Singapore court upholding a guilty verdict against Pritam Singh for lying to a parliamentary committee. The case stems from his handling of a former lawmaker, Raeesah Khan, who admitted to lying to parliament. Singh's appeal was rejected, and his conviction stands. These events highlight the ongoing scrutiny and challenges faced by the leading opposition party in Singapore's political landscape.
