In Singapore, the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) has historically traded fewer freedoms for economic stability. However, recent electoral boundary changes have sparked allegations of gerrymandering ahead of an upcoming election that may reflect shifting public sentiments. Since independence in 1965, the PAP has won every election, significantly influencing voter perception with compulsory voting. The modifications, attributed to population growth and urban development, raise concerns about fairness in the electoral process and indicate a possible inflection in Singaporean political dynamics as they prepare to vote.
The recent electoral boundary changes have fueled accusations of gerrymandering, as they are perceived as a means to benefit the ruling People's Action Party.
Elections in Singapore serve as a barometer for public sentiments towards the PAP, even if the party remains unlikely to lose power.
