Singapore PM Lawrence Wong Faces First Election With Newcomers, Fewer Veterans

Singapore’s nine-day election campaign, one of the world’s shortest, kicks off on Wednesday as Prime Minister Lawrence Wong seeks to extend the People’s Action Party’s unbroken 60-year rule.

It’s the first time since 2011 where not all districts are contested. The opposition is vying for 92 out of a total of 97 seats in the May 3 election.
