Singapore's ruling People's Action Party (PAP) secured a simple majority in the general election, with results announced constituency by constituency early Sunday by Returning Officer Han Kok Juan. A competitive field featured 209 candidates from 11 political parties, coalitions, and two independents vying for the 97 elected parliament seats.
This election marks a new era as Prime Minister Lawrence Wong steps into his first electoral test, following Lee Hsien Loong's remarkable two-decade tenure. For many young voters, the change feels as dynamic as the latest tech trends and social media updates 🚀. It's a reminder that even in long-established systems, fresh leadership can spark exciting transformations.
