The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has made changes to its central executive committee (CEC).
While party secretary-general Chee Soon Juan still retains his position, the CEC now has a new chair and vice-chairperson, opposition veteran Jufrie Mahmood and former Internal Security Act detainee Vincent Cheng respectively.
Executive director for Transient Workers Count Too Vincent Wijeysingha, who contested in this year's General Election in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, also received a promotion in the committee from assistant treasurer to treasurer.
