S1E1: Landslide win: PAP gets 65.57% of votes in Singapore general election
Description
Singapore's 2025 general election was held on May 3, and the ruling People's Action Party won 65.57 per cent of the national vote, a commanding swing up from its 61.24 per cent share in 2020.
The ruling party won 87 seats out of the contested 97, securing a majority in Parliament.
The opposition Workers' Party retained two GRCs in Aljunied and Sengkang, and one SMC in Hougang.
This election gave Prime Minister Lawrence Wong the clear mandate that he had sought, in his first electoral contest as head of government and leader of the PAP.
