Workers' Party (Singapore)
Updated: 12/11/2025, 3:03:34 PM Wikipedia source
The Workers' Party (WP) is a major social democratic political party in Singapore and one of the two contemporary political parties represented in the 15th Parliament, alongside the governing People's Action Party (PAP). The WP sits on the centre-left of the political spectrum and is currently the largest and oldest opposition party in Parliament, having contested every parliamentary election since 1959 against the dominant PAP. Since the 2011 general election, the WP has been the only political party, other than the PAP, with elected Members of Parliament (MPs). The WP was founded in 1957 by David Marshall, having previously led the more left-wing Labour Front (LF) to victory in 1955, forming a minority government and becoming the first Chief Minister of Singapore. After the British initially rejected his proposal for home rule, he resigned as leader of the LF and from his seat in 1957. After creating the WP, Marshall returned as its first representative in the Legislative Assembly as a Member for Anson in 1961, before resigning in 1963 after disagreements with some members of the party. The party would thereafter decline in prominence during the 1960s and 1970s before its re-emergence in 1981, when party leader Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam became the first opposition MP to be elected since Singapore's independence, having defeated the PAP's candidate at a by-election in Anson. Jeyaretnam was re-elected in 1984 with increased votes but subsequently lost his seat in 1986 following a conviction, which he claimed was politically motivated, for falsely accounting the party's funds. Other former members of the WP include former Law Society President Francis Seow and socialist activist Lee Siew Choh. Since 1991, the party's safe seat and stronghold has been Hougang Single Member Constituency (SMC), which was represented by Low Thia Khiang for two decades. The popularity of the party in Hougang has been attributed to the area's Teochew heritage and Low's personal affability. Low moved to Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in 2011, where he led the first team from an opposition party to win a GRC. In 2020, the WP became the first opposition party to win multiple GRCs in a single general election after defeating the PAP in the newly created Sengkang GRC while retaining Aljunied GRC and Hougang SMC. Positioning itself as a "check-and-balance" in Parliament, it supports a progressive approach to civic nationalism, reducing the voting age from 21 to 18, establishing a universal minimum wage, and providing more flexibility in regard to the Central Provident Fund. In recent years, members of the WP have worn light blue uniforms during political campaigns to represent the party's support for blue-collar workers.
