Singapore's Ruling People's Action Party is expected to be awarded to power in the country's 14th general election.

PAP won 87 seats in the 97-seat parliament, while the main opposition Workers Party maintained 10 seats in the election with a turnout of 92.47%.

On April 23, PAP won five seats, with 92 seats for election.

The ruling party also increased its voting share, receiving 65.57% of the national vote, compared with 61.2% in the 2020 general election.

According to local media CNA, the election is the first prime minister for Prime Minister Lawrence Wong to serve as prime minister, and focuses on the cost of living, as well as the country's work prospects and economic growth.

Wong was the first PAP leader to increase the party's voting share in the first election.

The voting share of PAP fell in the 1991 and 2006 elections, when Singapore saw changes in the prime minister in 1990 and 2004.

Wong is also the Minister of Finance and took over from Lee Hsien Loong in May 2024. Lee currently serves as senior minister of Wong's cabinet.

Since 1959, the city-states of the British states have gained full autonomy, and Papp has ruled Singapore. Singapore became independent in 1965.

He said after the election that he said he was “deeply humbled and thanked the results”, adding: “Singapores gave Parker a clear and powerful mission of domination.”

"The results will make Singapore better in the face of this turbulent world. Many are watching the elections closely, whether it is the international media, investors or foreign governments, they will notice the results tonight. It's clear that trust, stability and confidence in the government."

In the early hours of Sunday, the U.S. State Department congratulated Wong, saying PAP's victory said it looked forward to working closely with the new administration to strengthen economic growth and defensive ties.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also said in an article on X that the EU attaches importance to its "excellent cooperation" with Singapore.

“Our partnership is deepening, trade and investment, defense, security, innovation,” she added.

The elections also emerged as Singapore was struggling with slowing economic growth and uncertain trade conditions.

In April, Singapore lowered its GDP growth forecast to 0%-2%, and the country's monetary authorities eased policies twice this year.

The country's first-quarter GDP rate was lower than expected at 3.8%.

Wong warned earlier this year that Singapore could fall into recession in 2025 and formed a task force in April by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong to help businesses and workers in direct uncertainty arising from U.S. tariffs and related global developments.

Gan called U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick last month. After the meeting, Singapore is seeking discounts on drug exports to the United States, while also working with Washington to enhance export controls on high-end AI chips.

However, he also said Lutnick conveyed that the 10% benchmark tariff imposed by the Trump administration in early April was an "umbrella" and was unlikely to accept negotiations.

Despite a trade deficit and free trade agreements with the United States since 2004, Singapore has been hit by 10% tariffs.
