Just In: WP's Leon Perera and Nicole Seah resign over affair

In news just in, Aljunied GRC MP Leon Perera has resigned from his government position and the Workers’ Party with effect from today.

This was revealed by W-P’s secretary-general Pritam Singh, who added that Ms Nicole Seah also resigned from the party yesterday.  

At a media conference to address a video that showed the two former party members behaving intimately,...  

Mr Singh revealed that since the video came to light, the pair have admitted to the affair but said that it has since ended. 

Mr Singh also said that he had been informed by Mr Perera’s ex-driver of hotel meetings and intimate behaviour between the two around 2020 or 2021.  

When confronted with it back then, the W-P leader said Mr Perrera denied the claims and said that he was in dispute with the driver.

Mr Singh said that the WP expects its members to uphold the integrity and that such behaviour was not acceptable. 

He added that the party would have expelled Mr Perrera if he had not offered to resign. 

This is a developing story and we will have more updates later.
