Early general elections were held in Aruba on 6 December 2024 to elect all 21 members of Parliament. [1] [2]
On 9 September 2024 the Second Wever-Croes cabinet resigned following the vote for the presidency of the States of Aruba which saw Raymond Kamperveen (RAIZ) elected with the help from the opposition over the incumbent president Edgard Vrolijk (MEP), who had run for the position again. In doing so, RAIZ broke the coalition agreement with MEP, according to Prime Minister Evelyn Wever-Croes.
The fall of the government occurred approximately nine months before the general elections scheduled for June 2025. At the request of the cabinet, the governor of Aruba dissolved parliament and called early elections. [3]
The 21 members were elected by open list proportional representation.
