In a surprising move, Singapore President Shandaman dissolved Parliament on April 15 at 15:00 local time, following the recommendation of Prime Minister Huang Xuncai. This decisive action officially sets in motion the 2025 national general election process.
Singapore’s unicameral Parliament, which usually runs for five years, can be dissolved early, mandating that elections be held within three months. With the nomination day marked for April 23 and voting scheduled for May 3, 2025, the countdown is on! 🚀
The current Parliament, elected on July 11, 2020, is composed of 103 members. It includes 92 elected MPs—83 from the People’s Action Party and 9 from the Workers’ Party—along with Non-Constituency and Nominated MPs, ensuring a broad representation. Speaker Seah Kian Ping continues to lead the chamber with his seasoned guidance.
This development follows significant changes since Prime Minister Huang Xuncai assumed office in May 2024 and reshuffled his Cabinet with key figures in pivotal roles. For young news enthusiasts and budding professionals alike, this is a moment to watch as Singapore’s political landscape gears up for transformation! 😊🗳️
