Singapore’s long-ruling party seeks stronger election victory in test for new prime minister

  • Singaporeans voted on Saturday in a general election that tests Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's leadership amid renewed opposition challenges.
  • Wong seeks a strong mandate to manage economic uncertainty caused by US tariffs and steers the ruling People's Action Party, which faces a more vocal and younger electorate.
  • The opposition Workers' Party aims to build on historic gains by campaigning against rising living costs, attracting large crowds with a slate including prominent candidates.
  • About 2.75 million eligible voters cast ballots to elect 97 MPs, with results expected early Sunday, and sample counts showing PAP strong leads in most seats.
  • The election outcome will indicate if PAP's dominance continues and impacts Wong's ability to govern amid growing public calls for more opposition voices in parliament.
