In Singapore, the People's Action Party (PAP) provides its 14th victory in a row. According to the preliminary results published by the Electoral Commission, PAP won 15 to 14 constituencies, Reuters reports.
This was the first trial for the new Prime Minister Lawrence Von as the head of state. Although the opposition Workers' Party tried to strengthen its position, after a record 10 seats in the previous elections, PAP again maintains the vast majority of parliament.
There were important issues in the elections, high commodity prices and apartments in Singapore, in one of the most expensive cities in the world. In 2020, the share of PAP's votes was only 60.1%, the lowest in recent decades. Von sought to restore confidence. The latest results are expected early on Sunday morning.
