The ruling party PAP government was brought back to government today (Sep 12) sweeping 83 out 89 seats with a higher vote shift. The election result came as a surprise to Opposition candidates who felt that the ground was actually more bitter than the previous election.
Hotly-contested constituencies went to the PAP with huge margin winning by as much 66.62% in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC where the Singapore Democratic Party was expected to have a closer margin. Opposition ward, Punggol-East SMC, ended up in PAP’s hands with a win of 51.76%. Macpherson SMC went back to incumbent Tin Pei Ling at 65.58%, while Potong Pasir SMC went to the PAP candidate Sitoh Yih Pin with a greater margin at 66.41%.
Tanjong Pagar GRC which was never contested before won 77.71% in the absence of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
Only Hougang SMC and Aljunied GRC (50.95%) are retained by the Workers’ Party while all other Opposition parties are voted out.
National policies of the ruling party PAP will get the green light for the next 5 years.
