Voters have handed Singapore’s long-time ruling party a landslide election victory, offering Prime Minister Lawrence Wong a clear mandate to navigate the trade-orientated South-East Asian nation through economic upheaval sparked by looming US tariffs.
Wong’s People’s Action Party (PAP) took all but 10 seats in the 97-seat unicameral legislature with a total of 65.57% of the more than 2.4 million votes cast in the wealthy island state in Saturday’s polls.
