SINGAPORE: Kenneth Jeyaretnam has been voted in as secretary-general of the Reform Party by its central executive committee.
The post was left vacant by his late father, veteran opposition politician JB Jeyaretnam, after his death in September last year.
The Reform Party was set up by Mr Jeyaretnam after he was discharged from bankruptcy in 2007, and it was registered in July 2008.
A statement from the Reform Party said the central executive committee also voted in Edmund Ng as chairman, and Teo Kian Chye as treasurer.
Former chairman Ng Teck Siong, in a separate statement, said he is stepping aside to allow for renewal within the party leadership.
