The PAP secured five seats uncontested in the Marine Parade–Braddell Heights Group Representation Constituency (GRC) on nomination day.
The resounding victory signals a strong mandate for caretaker Prime Minister and PAP secretary-general Lawrence Wong, who led the party into a general election for the first time.
The party fielded candidates in all 33 electoral divisions – 15 Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) and 18 GRCs.
In the 2020 General Election, the PAP won 83 of the 93 seats, securing 61.2 per cent of the vote share.
This is Singapore's 19th General Election and the 14th since its independence in 1965. The PAP has held power continuously since 1959, prior to independence.
Wong's team at Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC successfully defended their seats with 73.46 per cent of the vote, an improvement over the 63.18 per cent they received in the previous election.
