Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said the convincing re-election of his People's Action Party would help the city-state face turbulent times, as analysts said the weekend poll also showed one party emerging as the main opposition group.

Any doubts about the People’s Action Party’s ability to continue dominating Singapore’s politics after six decades of rule were put to rest with Saturday’s election result.

The PAP bagged 87 seats in the 97-seat parliament, while the main opposition Workers Party held on to its 10 seats.

The People's Action Party won by a landslide in an election dominated by concerns over the cost of living and the economy.

The opposition is seeking to expand its reach in parliament, while the ruling PAP is aiming for a stronger mandate under new leader Lawrence Wong.

The People's Action Party is seen as a beacon of stability and prosperity, but tight government control and the rising cost of living in one of the world's most expensive cities also has led to growing unhappiness,

1:40 a.m. Singapore's biggest opposition group, the Workers' Party, has equalled its record 10 parliamentary seats in the 2020 election. Its team in the Sengkang constituency won 56.31% of the votes, adding to its wins in the Aljunied and Hougang constituencies.

Polling has closed in Singapore’s general election that is seen as the first key test of support for Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

Singapore's People's Action Party (PAP) is on track to retain its supermajority in the 2025 General Election (GE2025), with sample count results indicating wins in 87 out of 97 parliamentary seats.
