PSP has fought a good campaign. A big reason for their loss in WC is due to gerrymandering. No shame in losing! Instead, PAP, the party which prides itself on meritocracy and fairness, needs to resort to underhanded tactics to win.

PSP did not lose this fight. Their hv their utmost strong perseverance to fight all the way even though boundaries are re-drawn. The most shame is been despicable of re-mapping boundaries like nobody business.

Congratulating the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) on its victory, Mr Leong said National Development Minister Desmond Lee was a "worthy opponent” in West Coast-Jurong West GRC.

SINGAPORE: Progress Singapore Party (PSP) chief Leong Mun Wai said that while its General Election results were disappointing, it respects voters' decision, and it is not the end for the opposition party.


In a Facebook post on Wednesday (May 7), Mr Leong said it has taken him a few days to recover from the “shock result” of the May 3 election.

“The results of this GE2025 are not what we at PSP had hoped for. We accept the decision of the people with humility and respect,” Mr Leong wrote.

“Democracy speaks through the ballot box. We honour that voice, even though it brings disappointment.”

The outcome of GE2025 resulted in PSP’s exit from parliament, ending the party’s five-year hold over the Non-Constituency MP seats occupied by Mr Leong and PSP vice-chairperson Hazel Poa.

The party lost in all the constituencies it was contesting. It also received a smaller vote share in the ones it was re-contesting, including West Coast-Jurong West GRC, which saw the closest contest between PSP and the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) in the 2020 General Election.

In his Facebook post, Mr Leong promised that the party would regroup after the “disappointing” results.


“To fellow Singaporeans, though this result is disappointing for us, it is not the end,” Mr Leong wrote.

“Our call for checks and balances, an inclusive society and fairer opportunities for all remains unshaken. We will regroup, reflect, and return stronger.”

He also thanked the residents of West Coast-Jurong West GRC, the party’s volunteers, campaign team and supporters.

“We may have fallen short this time, but this journey has only strengthened our commitment to you and to the future of this nation,” he added.

PAP scored a landslide victory in this General Election, winning 65.57 per cent of votes and securing 87 out of 97 seats.


In West Coast-Jurong West GRC, the PSP received 39.99 per cent of the vote, down from the 48.3 per cent the party secured in 2020. It fielded its flagship team, comprising party founder Tan Cheng Bock, Mr Leong, Ms Poa and newcomers Sumarleki Amjah and Sani Ismail.

They were up against the PAP team led by National Development Minister Desmond Lee, alongside incumbents Shawn Huang and Ang Wei Neng, as well as new candidates Cassandra Lee and Hamid Razak.
