Lawrence Wong’s Party Secures Landslide Victory In Singapore General Election

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and his ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) won by a landslide, taking 87 of the 97 parliamentary seats in the general election held on Saturday, and will form the next government in Singapore.

Mr. Wong and the PAP had sought a new mandate from the general election in the midst of uncertainties caused by the U.S. trade tariffs to global economies.

The PAP, Singapore’s oldest and largest political party that has ruled the city-state ever since independence, has secured absolute majority to rule the prosperous country for the next five years.
