The Member of Parliament (MP) for Hougang, Mr Yaw Shin Leong, has resigned from his party's leadership.
With immediate effect, Mr Yaw will cease to be the treasurer of the Workers' Party (WP).
The 35-year-old will now focus on his responsibilities as MP for his constituency.
This comes after Mr Yaw was embroiled in allegations of an extramarital affair with a female member of his party, who was also married.
Mr Yaw joined the Workers' Party in 2001. He succeeded Mr Low Thia Khiang, WP's secretary-general, in Hougang when Mr Low left the single-seat ward to contest in Aljunied GRC for the 2011 election.
