General elections were held in Singapore on Friday, 10 July 2020 to elect 93 members[c] to the Parliament of Singapore across 31 constituencies.[d] Parliament was dissolved and the general election called by President Halimah Yacob on 23 June, on the advice of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.[2] It elected members of parliament to the 14th Parliament of Singapore since Singapore's independence in 1965, using the first-past-the-post electoral system.[3][4]
The elections were the eighteenth general elections in Singapore and the thirteenth since independence.[5] The ruling People's Action Party (PAP) secured its 15th consecutive term in government since 1959, setting the second-longest uninterrupted record among countries with universal suffrage of 66 years if the PAP finishes their full term of five years, behind Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party which held power for 71 consecutive years.
The results saw the ruling PAP winning 83 seats with the Workers' Party (WP) winning the remaining 10. The WP successfully retained their wards of Aljunied GRC and Hougang SMC and captured the newly created Sengkang GRC, constituting the most opposition seats in Parliament since 1966. Sengkang GRC was notably the second GRC won by the WP,[6] the first time the opposition claimed multiple GRCs since the creation of the scheme in 1988, and also the first time a newly created constituency was won by an opposition party on its first attempt.[7]
Moreover, with the WP polling 50.49% in the 21 seats it contested in a straight fight with the PAP, the 2020 general election marked the first time since 1963 that the ruling PAP lost the popular vote overall in constituencies contested by the WP and the very first time since independence.
