Singapore: Pritam Singh, an Indian-origin lawmaker in Singapore, was today elected unopposed as the new secretary-general of the city-state's main opposition Workers' Party.
Pritam Singh, 41, a lawyer, took over from veteran Member of Parliament (MP) Low Thia Khiang, 61.
Elected to Parliament in May 2011, Mr Singh moved up from the assistant secretary-general post unopposed when cadres elected their party chief at the biennial Central Executive Council elections, in the first change of leadership in 17 years.
He is an MP for Aljunied Group Representation Constituency, a five-member group representation constituency in the north-eastern and eastern region of Singapore.
Pritam Singh was seen as the front-runner for the secretary-general post after Low's announcement.
MP Sylvia Lim retained the party's chairmanship unopposed.
