The ruling People's Action Party (PAP) has won 82 of the 97 seats in this year's general election, securing a parliamentary majority. Together with the five seats in the uncontested Marine Parade-Braddell Heights group representation constituency (GRC), the PAP has secured 87 seats in Parliament.

The PAP also won 65.57% of the vote share this year, up from 61.24% in the 2020 general election. Thirty-two out of 33 constituencies were contested.

The opposition Workers' Party retained its 10 parliamentary seats through its four-member Sengkang GRC, five-member Aljunied GRC and Hougang single-member constituency (SMC). The two non-constituency member of parliament (NCMP) seats will also likely go to the Workers' Party as they were the so-called "best losers" for Jalan Kayu SMC and Tampines GRC.
