flag Over 20 Workers' Party cadres demand special conference after secretary general's conviction, triggering internal review.

flag The Workers' Party has confirmed receiving a request from over 20 cadres for a special conference to address the fallout from Secretary General Pritam Singh’s December 4 conviction for lying to a parliamentary committee. flag The request meets the constitutional threshold of 10% of cadre members or 20 members—estimated at around 100 total—triggering a review by the party’s Central Executive Committee. flag The CEC, the party’s top decision-making body, will determine next steps, possibly convening an unscheduled meeting on January 2 or holding a special conference in February. flag Internal processes may involve a swift vote or formation of a disciplinary committee, similar to past cases. flag The ruling, which upheld Singh’s conviction on two counts, has prompted parliamentary debate, with implications for other WP leaders set to be discussed starting January 12. flag The party has not disclosed further details, as its constitution restricts cadre communications with the media.
