Tan Cheng Bock and others re-elected to PSP committee

Tan Cheng Bock, Leong Mun Wai, and Hazel Poa were re-elected to the Progress Singapore Party’s central executive committee (CEC) on Thursday. The party's key positions, including secretary-general, are yet to be announced. Dr. Tan, the founder and chairman, continues his role alongside NCMPs Leong and Poa. Six out of the 14 members from the previous CEC were re-elected. However, some members, including former assistant secretary-general Dr. Ang Yong Guan, did not secure their positions again. The new CEC includes 12 elected members from a pool of 24 nominees. Voting took place at the PSP headquarters, where members left their phones outside during the process. The results were announced shortly before 11 pm, with some members receiving cheers from the crowd. Dr. Ang opted not to seek re-election for health reasons, following an extended suspension as a psychiatrist. The CEC may later choose two more members to expand to a 14-member team. In 2020, the PSP faced a tight competition against the People's Action Party (PAP) in the West Coast GRC. The PAP won with 51.69% of the votes, leading to the PSP gaining its current NCMP seats. Leong expressed confidence about the new CEC's readiness for the upcoming General Election but did not confirm any leadership positions at this time.
