SINGAPORE : The opposition Singapore People's Party (SPP) held its Ordinary Party Conference on Sunday, and elected 14 members to its decision making Central Executive Committee (CEC).
Veteran politician Chiam See Tong remains in the committee.
The new faces include his wife Lina Chiam and member Desmond Lim, who's reported to have differences in the party over the possible inclusion of the Reform Party into the Singapore Democratic Alliance.
Mr Chiam is the chairman of the Alliance while Mr Lim is its secretary-general.
The CEC will meet in three weeks to decide on the positions.
Current Chairman Sin Kek Tong said he hopes to make the party stronger for the next general election.
But Sunday's event wasn't without its drama.
A group of about 30 people tried to become members on the spot to take part in the party conference.
But they were asked to leave after cadre members voted against the move. - CNA /ls
