Commentary: In GE2025, the political voice of Singaporeans under 45 was louder and clearer

A YouGov poll conducted in April revealed that 70 % of Gen Zers and 61 percent of millennials were still unsure of their party preferences, which is much higher than the percentage of Gen Xers and baby boomers. GE2025 results may have sounded indecisive to this demographic, but they suggest more intelligent voter consideration is needed. &nbsp,

The fact that so some citizens turned out to be able or unwilling to cast a ballot for one group or another beginning on indicates that younger voters were much more willing to consider what each candidate or party had to offer before making a choice. &nbsp,

THOUGHTFUL DELIBERATION VS. PARTY LOYALTY

With the addition of these Gen Z and younger voters, there also seems to be some impact when it comes to election outcomes.

The specific results from numerous constituencies even add more nuance to the equation, even though the entire PAP vote share of 65.57 per cent appears to be a reaction to the ambiguous political situation and a solid mandate for Mr. Wong’s second outing as both prime minister and PAP secretary-general.

We may observe unique voting patterns based on the opposing opposition parties if we zoom in to hotly contested battlegrounds where there are an estimated higher proportion of young voters between the ages of 45 and under.

WP retained Sengkang GRC, with a significantly higher voting discuss than it did in 2020.

In Jalan Kayu SMC and Tampines GRC, the WP managed to win by merely under 5 percentage points, and Punggol GRC received just over 10 % of seats. Dr. Chee Quickly Juan’s SDP’s Sembawang West vying for the PAP won by a winning ratio of less than 10 percentage points.

Compare this to the results of the PAP’s considerable margin wins over Red Dot United and Singapore Progress Party, which have large proportions of young voters, quite as Nee Quickly GRC and Potong Pasir SMC. &nbsp,
