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.

Singapore's People's Action Party won its 14th successive election on Saturday with 87 of 97 seats in parliament, according to results from the election commission, extending its six-decade rule over the Asian financial hub.

The People’s Action Party continued its six-decade reign, as was widely expected. But many had anticipated it to lose more ground to the opposition.
