Singapore Election: Voters Embrace Ruling Party Amid Global Instability, People's Action Party Wins Big The ruling People's Action Party (PAP) in Singapore has achieved an overwhelming victory in the election. The campaign issues focused primarily on living costs and the future economic stability of the country. This is Prime Minister Wong Chun Wei's first electoral battle since becoming party leader last year. Ultimately, the People's Action Party received 65.6% of the vote and secured a decisive majority in the 97 seats of Parliament. On Saturday, Singaporeans went to the polls with anxiety over inflation, stagnant wages, and employment prospects. The outcome of this election was widely seen as a vote of confidence in the People's Action Party as a "safe" choice amid global political turmoil. The center-left main opposition Workers' Party (WP) failed to win more seats but retained its 10 seats in Parliament. The center-right People's Action Party has been continuously in power since 1959, making it one of the longest-ruling parties in the world. It enjoys strong support from Singaporeans, particularly from older generations who have witnessed the prosperity of the nation under the leadership of the People's Action Party.
