Singapore's (PAP) action evening is planned for another electoral victory for landslides, explains the country's electoral service.
In a voting sample on Saturday, the PAP showed solid tracks in 82 seats out of 93 seats, after having already won 5 earlier during the day. The count also showed that the opposition workers' party maintained 10 seats.
The result would strengthen the management of Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during his first electoral test since he took office a year ago.
PAP supporters, who have run Singapore since 1959, gathered in a stadium waving flags and encouraging an early celebration.
Lawrence Wong, 52, succeeded Lee Hsien Loong to become the fourth leader of the city. Lee resigned in May 2024 after two decades as Prime Minister, but remained in the cabinet as the main minister. Lee's retirement puts an end to a family dynasty which was launched by his father, Lee Kuan Yew, who was the first leader of Singapore and built the former colonial helmet in one of the richest countries in the world.
Wong, an economist trained in the United States, who is also Minister of Finance, has a resounding mandate to guide Singapore linked to trade thanks to the economic uncertainty caused by the pricing increases by US President Donald Trump.
The announcement of the American administration on prices has led the Singaporean government to reduce its commercial forecasts and to notify a possible recession.
PAP maintains his grip on power
PAP is considered a stability of stability and prosperity, but control of the tight government and the increase in the cost of living in one of the most expensive cities in the world have also led to an increase in misfortune, especially among young voters. The enlargement of the disparity of income, the increasingly unaffordable housing, overcrowding and restrictions on freedom of expression have relatively weakened its support before to allon.
Its share of the popular vote slipped to a lower record of 61% in the 2020 elections, against almost 70% in 2015. The opposition says that a greater presence in the Parliament would allow a more balanced political system and greater empowerment, but has often been forgiven by a lack of resources and fragmented support.
Wong sought to relaunch the support of the PAP by bringing 32 new faces while several party veterans withdrew. He tried to hire younger voters on social networks and promised to endeavor to Singapore more balanced and inclusive.
