The PAP's 65.57 per cent national vote share is also an endorsement of PM Wong's call for voters to return his experienced ministers while he injects new blood into the Government, and all eyes are now on who will be in the Cabinet, they added. «The process of political succession from the third prime minister to the fourth prime minister of Singapore — that spanned from 2011 from (Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong's) first mention of the intent to 2025 — is indeed now complete,» said Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) senior research fellow Gillian Koh.
