GE2025: Analysis - how the PAP scored a landslide win and why the opposition failed to make inroads

  • Singapore's People's Action Party won 87 of 97 parliamentary seats on May 3, 2025, securing its 14th consecutive election victory under Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.
  • The PAP's triumph followed a campaign focusing on high living costs and housing shortages amid global economic tensions and warnings of potential recession.
  • The PAP increased its vote share to 65.57%, surpassing the 61.2% achieved in 2020, while the Workers' Party retained its 10 seats but failed to expand its presence.
  • Prime Minister Wong described the result as a "humbling experience" and thanked voters for the "strong mandate," which experts said reflects voters' preference for continuity and security.
  • The outcome strengthens the PAP's firm control over Singapore's parliament, but opposition parties face growing challenges amid a fragmented landscape and voters favoring stability.
