Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said the convincing re-election of his People's Action Party would help the city-state face turbulent times, as analysts said the weekend poll also showed one party emerging as the main opposition group.

Inflation, the cost of living and economic stability concerns propelled Singapore's conservative People's Action Party to a landslide election win on Saturday.

SINGAPORE: In an initial assessment of his party's electoral performance, Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh (pic) attributed the swing against the opposition to people giving Prime Minister Lawrence Wong a strong mandate amid a difficult international environment.

Samples from official vote counting in Singapore's election on Saturday showed the People's Action Party was on course for victory, as the party looked set to win its 14th successive ballot and extend its six-decade rule.

The People’s Action Party’s bigger 65.57 per cent vote share reflects Singaporeans’ economic fears, analysts say.
