GE2025: Party political broadcasts to air on TV & radio on Apr. 25 & May 1

There will be two Party Political Broadcasts (PPBs) for political parties and coalitions contesting in General Election (GE) 2025 to deliver their campaign messages.

The first PPB will take place tomorrow (Apr. 25), followed by the second broadcast on May 1, according to the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).

The PPBs will be carried across six Mediacorp television channels, as well as thirteen Mediacorp, SPH, and So Drama! Entertainment radio stations.

During the broadcasts, political parties and coalitions may deliver their campaign messages in all or any of Singapore's four official languages, namely English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil.

8 political parties eligible for PPBs

According to IMDA, a total of eight political parties and coalitions are eligible for the upcoming PPBs.

They are the National Solidarity Party (NSP), People's Power Party (PPP), Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), People's Alliance for Reform (PAR), Progress Singapore Party (PSP), Red Dot United (RDU), Workers' Party (WP), and People's Action Party (PAP).

They are eligible because they have fielded at least six candidates under a recognised party symbol.

Independents and political parties fielding fewer than six candidates under the same recognised party symbol are not eligible for PPBs.

NSP first to speak, PAP last

The order of the PBBs and duration of airtime allocated for each political party or coalition will be based on the number of candidates it fielded in GE2025.

The more candidates the party or coalition fields, the later it will speak during the broadcasts and the more airtime it will be allocated.

The order of the PBBs and the airtime allocated to each party or coalition are as follows:
