The Workers’ Party has confirmed it is following up on a request by cadre members to convene a special cadre members’ conference, a rarely used mechanism provided for under the party’s rules. The development comes after WP chief Pritam Singh’s conviction for lying to Parliament’s Committee of Privileges was upheld by the High Court, and ahead of a scheduled parliamentary discussion on leadership implications this month.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law at Singapore Management University, explains what a special cadre members’ conference is, how such meetings are triggered, and how internal party processes fit within Singapore’s wider political system.
