The PAP team led by Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong secured a resounding victory in Ang Mo Kio GRC, garnering 78.95 per cent of the votes against the Singapore United Party (SUP) and People's Power Party (PPP).

SUP and PPP received 10.84 per cent and 10.21 per cent of the votes, respectively, in the polls on May 3.

The PAP's result is a 7.04 percentage point increase from the last contest in 2020, when it won with 71.91 per cent of the votes against the Reform Party's (RP) 28.09 per cent.

This is also its best performance in the constituency since the first contest was held in 2006.

Its previous best result was in 2015, when the team led by then Prime Minister Lee defeated RP with 78.64 per cent of the votes.

SM Lee said in a speech to supporters at Yio Chu Kang Stadium on May 4: "Thank you very much for supporting me and my team and giving us your mandate again, to represent you, to work for you, to do our best for you, for Ang Mo Kio and for Singapore.

"Many things are happening in the world. We have many worries. With the PAP, we can work with you, with your trust and your full support and cooperation. We will do the best for our families, for our country and for our future."

He added that the GRC will work with the Kebun Baru, Yio Chu Kang and Jalan Kayu SMCs as one big family.

"And together, we will make Ang Mo Kio an even better place to live, work and play, and Singapore an even better place to call home and to be proud of for many, many more years to come," he said.
