Parliament has been dissolved, and all eyes are now on the date of the general election. A general election must take place within three months of the dissolution of Parliament.

President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, acting on the advice of Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, announced the dissolution of Parliament on April 15.

The Writ of Election will then be issued specifying the date for Nomination Day.

SINGAPORE: President Tharman Shanmugaratnam dissolved parliament on Tuesday (Apr 15), paving the way for Singapore's 14th General Election.

A Writ of Election is expected to be issued shortly, specifying the dates of Nomination Day and Polling Day. It will also contain information for MP hopefuls, such as the election deposit and documents required.

The upcoming contest will be the first under Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and Singapore's fourth-generation or 4G leadership team. Mr Wong took over the reins in May last year.

Under the Singapore system, Cabinet ministers do not vacate their roles after parliament is dissolved, and continue with their responsibilities until the first sitting of the next parliament.

SECOND LONGEST PARLIAMENT​

The 14th Parliament, which began on Aug 24, 2020, was the second longest in Singapore’s history.

It also concluded its term with the highest number of vacant seats since independence, following the departure of six MPs for various reasons.

The upcoming election could feature candidates from 11 parties, including two opposition alliances.

The ruling People’s Action Party will likely be challenged for all 97 seats across the 18 Group Representation Constituencies and 15 Single Member Constituencies.

The opposition camp has contested all seats since the 2015 polls. In 2020, two opposition parties - the Workers’ Party and Progress Singapore Party - made their way into parliament, with WP chief Pritam Singh formally designated Leader of the Opposition.

Voter concerns heading into this election include the cost of living, as well as jobs and unemployment, a survey in January found.

A return to full campaigning, including physical election rallies that were last held a decade ago, is expected in what will be Singapore’s first General Election since the COVID-19 pandemic.
