The Workers' Party (WP) has named its new office-bearers who will lead the party into the next general election, after party polls in June that saw few changes to its top decision-making body.

In a statement on July 17, the party announced the co-opting of lawyer Fadli Fawzi as one of four deputy organising secretaries. He was fielded as part of the WP team in Marine Parade GRC in the last general election.

Sengkang GRC MP Louis Chua is head of the media team, while his GRC mate Jamus Lim is youth wing president.

The media role was previously held by former Aljunied GRC MP Leon Perera, and the youth wing was previously led by former East Coast GRC candidate Nicole Seah, until their departure from the party in 2023 after a video emerged of them sharing an intimate moment.

Former Punggol East MP Lee Li Lian is deputy head of the media team, a role previously held by Mr Chua. Ms Lee, currently a town councillor in the Sengkang Town Council, was elected into the party's central executive committee (CEC) after a hiatus of four years.
