Singapore PM Seeks Re-election With Promises of Managing US-China Relations
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong made a final appeal to Singapore’s 2.76 million voters on Thursday, framing the May 3 election as critical for maintaining the nation’s delicate balance between the U.S. and China.

Addressing 1.4 million union members, Wong stressed that only his experienced People’s Action Party (PAP) team could navigate rising U.S. tariffs, potential recession, and geopolitical tensions threatening the trade-dependent economy.

“We need leaders with established trust in both Washington and Beijing,” Wong declared, warning that losing key ministers like Deputy PM Gan Kim Yong would weaken Singapore’s crisis response.

PAP Faces Opposition Heat Over Cost-of-Living Concerns Despite Expected Win

Though the PAP—in power since 1959—is projected to retain control, voter frustration over inflation has energized the opposition Workers’ Party, which holds 10 parliamentary seats.

The campaign’s closing days turned contentious as PAP deployed Gan, Wong’s “taskforce man” for COVID-19 and economic resilience, to defend a northeast ward against Workers’ Party challengers. Opposition leaders criticized Gan as a last-minute “stranger” to the constituency, countering PAP attacks on their own local ties.

This election marks Wong’s first electoral test since succeeding Lee Hsien Loong in 2023. His closing argument emphasized continuity, touting Gan’s crisis-management credentials and the cabinet’s collective experience.

With six parties and one independent candidate holding final rallies Thursday night, Wong’s team faces scrutiny over its handling of living costs—a vulnerability the opposition has weaponized despite PAP’s strong geopolitical positioning.

High-Stakes Vote Concludes After Short but Fierce 9-Day Campaign

After a fierce campaign season, Singapore will enter a compulsory “cooling-off” day on Friday before Saturday’s compulsory voting. It is possible that PAP’s emphasis on US-China diplomacy and economic stewardship may outweigh discontent over domestic issues, but a stronger opposition showing could signal shifting priorities among voters.
