- What goes up will come down Since the independence of Singapore in 1965, the PAP has held 100% of the Parliament seats until 1984, the first time it lost 2 out of 74 seats to opposition parties. Nevertheless, the PAP has held more than 90% of all the seats till the 21th century. This 2020 GE is the first time PAP has less than 90% of all the seats as it lost 10 seats to the WP.
The Singapore General Election is done and dusted. The PAP government returned to power with 83 of 93 seats and an overall vote of 61.24%, a drop of 8.7% from 69.9% in 2015.
I just wanna share some takeaways and thoughts from observing the whole campaign and results.
