Despite the dominance of PAP, the Opposition Employee Party (WP) retained its 10 places and won two additional parliamentary fines (NCMP). WP increased its popular voting to about 15%, in comparison with 11.2% in 2020. However, other opposition parties didn’t achieve significant profits, and a few loss of votes and have become non -parliamentary parties.

The election also emphasized the growing interest of younger voters, seeing more diverse voices and political debate, which indicates potential changes in the political landscape of Singapore in the future.
