SINGAPORE: The ruling People's Action Party (PAP) has won a landslide victory in Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's first electoral test as leader of the government.

The party secured 65.57 per cent of the national vote, improving on its 2020 performance by 4 percentage points.

It won all battleground constituencies, including the single-seat ward of Jalan Kayu, putting labour chief Ng Chee Meng back in parliament. The PAP also took Punggol GRC, which is led by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, as well as West Coast-Jurong West GRC, which saw the closest fight in the last election.

The Workers' Party (WP) retained Aljunied GRC, Sengkang GRC and Hougang SMC. It would have an increased 12-seat presence in parliament, including two Non-constituency MP seats.

Thanking voters for their support, Mr Wong said he is "deeply humbled and grateful" for the results. "It is a clear signal of trust, stability and confidence in your government," he said at a media conference.
