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 People's Action Party is seen as a beacon of stability and prosperity, but tight government control and the rising cost of living in one of the world's most expensive cities also has led to growing unhappiness,

Singaporeans were voting Saturday in a general election that is seen as the first key test of support for Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who took office last year. His People’s Action Party is widely expected to comfortably extend its 66-year dominance in the city-state.
