STORYLINE:
Party posters and flags hung on every street in Singapore Friday, as Singaporeans get ready to vote in Saturday’s general election that is set to return to power the city-state’s long ruling party.
It will be closely watched as a gauge of public confidence in Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s leadership. The People’s Action Party has won every election since the Asian financial hub gained independence in 1965.
Wong, who took office last year, hopes to clinch a stronger mandate after the PAP suffered a setback in 2020 polls over voters’ rising discontent with the government.
The PAP kept 83 out of 93 parliamentary seats, but it ceded more seats to the opposition, which won 10 seats, the most ever.
The opposition has acknowledged it cannot unseat the PAP but is appealing to voters for a stronger voice in Parliament.
