The internal election is held once every two years. The last CEC election in 2018 was significant as it saw longtime party chief Low Thia Khiang step down as secretary-general in favour of Mr Pritam Singh as part of a leadership renewal effort. Mr Low and fellow former incumbent MPs Png Eng Huat and Chen Show Mao also did not contest the 2020 General Election. Despite this, the WP won its best result in its first election under Mr Singh’s leadership and clinced a second multi-member ward on top of receiving a stronger mandate at its Aljunied-Hougang stronghold.
