Singapore:

The People’s Action Party (PAP) led by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has secured a landslide victory in the Singapore General Election, winning 87 out of 97 parliamentary seats, as reported by local media.

The election took place amidst global economic uncertainties caused by US trade tariffs, with the PAP seeking a new mandate from the voters.

Established in 1965, the PAP is Singapore’s oldest and largest political party, having maintained a stronghold on the city-state’s politics since its independence.

Approximately 2.6 million Singaporeans were eligible to vote in this election, with 92 seats contested as the PAP’s Group Representation Constituency for Marine Parade-Braddell Heights had a walkover on nomination day.

This election marked Lawrence Wong’s first as prime minister, with a focus on navigating Singapore’s economy through challenges posed by US tariffs.

Following the announcement of results for Marsiling-Yew Tee Group Representation Constituency (GRC), Wong expressed humility and pledged to work hard for the voters, acknowledging the trust placed in him.

The Elections Department (ELD) reported that Singaporeans cast their votes at 1,240 polling stations to determine the country’s political future.

This election was Singapore’s 19th since 1948 and 14th since gaining independence in 1965, with Lawrence Wong taking office as prime minister last year.

The campaign period saw opposition parties raising concerns about the cost of living, housing, and the influx of foreigners in Singapore’s workforce.

Key PAP leaders balanced campaigning efforts with negotiations on US tariffs, highlighting the importance of economic relations between the two countries.

Deputy Prime Minister and Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong engaged in talks with US counterparts to address tariffs affecting Singapore’s imports.

Various political parties, including the Workers’ Party and Progress Singapore Party, contested seats in this election, reflecting a diverse political landscape in Singapore.

Prime Minister Wong emphasized the need for responsible voting amid global economic challenges, particularly in the midst of the US-China trade war.

Singapore’s manufacturing sector experienced a decline in activity due to external factors, impacting the country’s economic growth.

Despite facing challenges, the PAP secured a dominant victory in the election, reaffirming its position as the leading political force in Singapore.
