{"#Central_Executive_Committee":"The Central Executive Committee (CEC) is the highest decision-making body of the PAP. The 39th CEC will be in charge of steering the party from 2026 to 2028. The CEC will also have the power to co-opt up to four more members in due time. The committee will elect its office-bearers from among its members, including the party's chairman, vice-chairman, secretary-general, assistant secretary-general, treasurer, and assistant treasurer, as well as other positions it deems necessary. The CEC is a crucial body for the PAP, as it will be in charge of the party's direction for the next few years.","#Chee_Hong_Tat":"Chee Hong Tat, who was previously co-opted into the 38th CEC, replaced Heng Swee Keat as one of the top 12 vote-getters. This election highlights the importance of Chee Hong Tat in the PAP's leadership structure. His co-optation into the CEC is a significant development, as it shows the party's willingness to include him in its decision-making process.","#Zaqy_Mohamad":"Zaqy Mohamad was previously co-opted into the 38th CEC, but now is one of the top 14 (at least) highest vote-getters. His co-optation into the CEC is another indication of the PAP's commitment to including diverse voices in its leadership. The co-optation of Zaqy Mohamad is a positive development for the party, as it shows its willingness to include a wider range of perspectives in its decision-making process."}
