Singapore's PAP set for big election win, preliminary results show

Singapore: Preliminary vote counting in Singapore's election on Saturday showed the People's Action Party was set for another big victory to extend its six-decade rule.

Samples of votes counted showed the PAP had won 29 of 32 constituencies contested on Saturday, the election commission said. That translated to 87 of the 97 parliamentary seats for the PAP, including five already won in a walkover in one constituency.

The sample vote count has a 4 per cent margin of error, according to the commission.
