人民行动党在11月8日,召开两年一度的中委会选举及干部大会。李显龙仍是该党秘书长、王瑞杰和陈振声则任第一助理秘书长和第二助理秘书长。 卫生部长颜金勇任主席职,马善高为副主席;尚穆根为财政、王乙康为助理财政、傅海燕和李智陞则任组织秘书。 值得一提的是,两年前改选首次担任中委的前总理公署部长黄志明,此次却未入选,反之教育部长黄循财和国家发展部长李智陞则成功入选。 两年前总理李显龙已然开启第三代交棒第四代领导接班人的行动,资深中委卸任,准备逐步让第四代精英班底接手政权。除了在上届改选引退的许文远、林瑞生等五名第三代领导,此次中委也少了国防部长黄永宏和新闻部长和易华仁,这也显示行动党领导人的更新正在持续。 故此,有机会能晋升中委也被看好成为“接班人团队”的几率较高。而在昨日的中委改选候选名单有19人,除了获选和增补的14明第36届中委,其余候选人还包括律政部第二部长躺着牛、总理公署部长孟理齐博士、卫生部兼通讯及新闻部高级政务部长普杰立、西北区市长任梓铭和前部长黄志明。 黄志明原是总理公署部长,2009年至2013年任空军总长、2015年8月18日,卸下三军总长职。8月22日,行动党就宣布黄志明入党。 9月11日2015年大选之后,黄志明进入内阁,短短13个月内从代部长职位获擢升为正部长,一度被视作“潜能接班人选”的征兆。 然而,在2020选举,偕同原交通部兼卫生部高级政务部长蓝彬明医生、内政部兼卫生部高级政务次长安宁·阿敏等人,上阵盛港集选区,惟不敌工人党何廷儒团队败选。 行动党称将正视选举中问题 据了解,身为行动党秘书长的李显龙,指该党已完成2020年大选检讨工作,该党中委将正视选举中出现的问题。 其中,李显龙指行动党在新划分出来的盛港集选区失利,黄志明领军的团队败北,对于行动党和竞选团队是“惨重损失”,不过该党尊重选民决定,他也强调行动党不会放弃反对党选区。
