<h1>Singapore's Ruling PAP Secures Overwhelming Election Victory, Reinforcing Decades-Long Political Control and Mandate for National Leadership</h1> The ruling People's Action Party (PAP) won a landslide victory in Singapore's general election, securing 87 out of 97 parliamentary seats. Led by the prime minister, the party maintained its long-standing political dominance since independence. The election took place amid economic challenges, including US trade tariffs and manufacturing sector contraction. Opposition parties campaigned on issues like living costs and foreign workforce, but failed to significantly challenge the PAP's strong mandate.
