MR BENJAMIN Pwee, the Singapore People's Party's 'star catch' at the recent general election has been named as the party's second assistant secretary-general.
A statement released by the party this morning said that Mr Pwee had been co-opted into the central-executive committee with immediate effect.
Alongside Mr Pwee, two others have also been taken into the CEC: Mr Jimmy Lee, who was part of the party's Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC team, and Mr David Tan, a businessman who heads the SPP's SME Businessmen Affairs Bureau.
The changes are seen as a key step in the party's succession planning, with Mr Pwee set to take on a more prominent role in the party.
The SPP also revealed its five-year plan for improving its showing at the next polls. These include setting up party headquarters In Potong Pasir and starting Meet-the-People sessions.
On Thursday, the party announced that Mrs Lina Chiam would accept the NCMP seat.
