👉 Tharman Shanmugaratnam in the context of 15th Parliament of Singapore

The 15th Parliament of Singapore is the current meeting of the Parliament of Singapore. It was opened by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam on 5 September 2025. The 97 elected members of this parliament were elected in the 2025 general election. As was the case in the previous parliament, this parliament is controlled by the majority of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), which is led by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. There are 108 seats in this parliament – 97 from elected constituencies, 2 non-constituency (NCMPs) and 9 nominated (NMPs).

This parliament saw the return of only one opposition party since the 13th Parliament elected in 2015 – the Workers' Party (WP) – which is led by Pritam Singh and is also the Leader of the Opposition. The WP controls 10 elected and 2 NCMP seats, giving it a representation of 12 seats – the largest representation for any single opposition party in post-independence Singapore and surpassing its own record of 10 seats in the previous parliament. On 20 June 2025, the Prime Minister's Office announced the renomination of incumbent speaker Seah Kian Peng for another term.
