The Results of Singapore’s General Election 2025

Key Takeaways:

  • Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and his ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) won the May 3 election with a strong mandate. Winning 87 of 97 contested seats, the PAP increased its presence in parliament and grew its total share of votes from 61.2 percent to 65.57 percent.
  • Singaporean voters embraced the PAP’s stable and experienced leadership over the opposition’s call for greater checks and balances.
  • The opposition Workers’ Party (WP) retained its seats and widened its winning margins in the constituencies it was defending, but did not make inroads in other electoral districts.
  • Only two parties, the PAP and WP, won seats in Singapore’s parliament. Nine opposition parties and two independent candidates lost their races.
