Singapore’s People’s Action Party won its 14th successive election on Saturday to extend its unbroken six-decade rule, delivering a strong mandate to its new premier as the city-state braces for economic turbulence from a global trade war.

The ruling party increased its share of the vote by 4 percent over the last election, while the opposition Workers’ Party stagnated.

The People’s Action Party’s bigger 65.57 per cent vote share reflects Singaporeans’ economic fears, analysts say.
