Sat May 03 22:30:36 UTC 2025: ## Singapore’s PAP Wins Landslide Victory in General Election
**Singapore, May 4, 2025** – Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) secured a resounding victory in Singapore’s general election, winning 87 out of 97 parliamentary seats. The landslide win grants the PAP another five-year term in power.
The election, Wong’s first as Prime Minister, saw approximately 2.6 million Singaporeans cast their votes on Saturday. The PAP’s victory comes amidst global economic uncertainty, particularly concerning the impact of US trade tariffs.
In his victory speech, Wong described the election as a “humbling experience” and pledged to work diligently for the people of Singapore, expressing gratitude for the strong mandate received. He stated the party would “honour the trust” placed in them by working harder for all citizens.
The PAP, Singapore’s longest-ruling party, has maintained its absolute majority, continuing its governance of the city-state since independence. The win allows the PAP to continue navigating the challenges posed by the current global economic climate.
