In the general polls, PAP put up a stunning show by clinching 87 of 97 seats, marking another return to power.

Workers Party, the key opposition, just managed to win 10 seats.

In all, 65.57 per cent of the 2,386,452 valid votes cast went to the PAP – up from 61.24 per cent in the 2020 General Election - in what was Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's first electoral test leading the ruling party, reported Channel News Asia.
