'We've done very commendably': WP's Pritam 'proud' despite landslide PAP's GE2025 win
The results of the 2025 General Election showed that the «challenges are real» for opposition parties to make further inroads in Singapore's political system, said Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh.
«I keep telling people… that we are a small party, and I hope you have gotten a perspective of why I say that,» said Singh at Bedok Reservoir Food Centre on Sunday (April 4).
«But the least we can do for fellow Singaporeans is to do our best. And in these elections, I'm actually very proud to say the Workers' Party did its best. And I think everybody associated with the party should be very proud of themselves.»
These were his first comments to reporters after Singapore took to the ballot boxes the previous day. The ruling PAP recorded a landslide victory with 65.57 per cent of the popular vote, winning 87 out of 97 parliamentary seats. It also had commanding swing from its 61.24 per cent share in the last general election.
The WP, meanwhile, managed to retain 10 of the seats from Aljunied and Sengkang GRC, as well as its stronghold of Hougang GRC.
