Workers' Party of Singapore, Political party in Singapore.
The Workers' Party of Singapore is a political party in Singapore that holds seats in the national parliament and follows social democratic principles. The party operates its headquarters on Kwong Avenue and organizes political work and public meetings from there.
David Saul Marshall founded the party in November 1957 at the Hokkien Association Hall with trade union representatives on the board. The party won a multi-member constituency for the first time in 2011 when it captured Aljunied.
The party members wear light blue uniforms during political campaigns to demonstrate their connection with Singapore's working population.
The party headquarters at number one Kwong Avenue is open to visitors who want to learn about programs and membership. Public events usually take place in the evenings and on weekends when working people can attend.
In 2011, the Workers' Party became the first opposition group to win a Group Representation Constituency by capturing Aljunied.
