Former WP MP Leon Perera said he had recently taken up a new role in his company as the executive director for Yamada Consulting Group USA.Former Workers’ Party MP Leon Perera on Jan 28 announced that he will be based in New York City for work, a move which signals he is unlikely to contest in the upcoming general election.
PSP and Mr Perera have previously said he was assisting the party and was not a member, but murmurings on the ground continued with some speculating that he could be fielded as a candidate in the election due by November 2025.
He resigned from the party in July 2023 after a past affair with then fellow party member Nicole Seah was exposed via a video leaked online. Ms Seah, who was the party’s candidate at East Coast GRC in the 2020 general election, also left the party. He wrote: “I hope this period of time will help me to develop new perspectives and ideas about what is going on in the world, where it is heading and, most importantly, what is to be done to build a better future.”
