Singapore's parliament was dissolved on Tuesday by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, following Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's recommendation, setting the stage for the nation's 14th general election, local media reported.
The Prime Minister's Office confirmed that April 23 will mark nomination day, which initiates the official campaign period. The Writ of Election, which will determine the Polling Day date, is anticipated to be released soon.
In Singapore's governmental system, Cabinet ministers retain their positions after parliament's dissolution, continuing their duties until the next parliament's first session.
