General elections are set to be held in Suriname on 25 May 2025. This was made public by president Chan Santokhi in his annual speech at the National Assembly on 1 October 2024.
After his resignation in mid-October 2024 as minister of Internal Affairs, Bronto Somohardjo was succeeded one and a half months later by Delano Landvreugd as minister and Maurits Hassankhan as deputy minister. Hassankhan will have the responsibility of organizing the elections of 2025.
Electoral system
The 51 seats in the National Assembly are elected using party-list proportional representation. Previous general elections had been held using ten multi-member constituencies, but following a ruling by the Constitutional Court in 2022 that judged that it was unconstitutional, the constituencies were abolished and all 51 seats will be elected from a single nationwide constituency. This case was started by Serena Essed. The Assembly approved the new electoral system on 13 October 2023.
