Seat counts are from the final 2024 election results. Party lists are a sample, not the complete membership of each party. Building out the full 543-member directory with real photos is a larger dataset we can add next. The backdrop above is an illustration, not a real photograph, for the same reason as the party symbols.
Council of Ministers
Members of the Union Council of Ministers, sworn in 9 June 2024
No ministers match that search.
Source: Cabinet Secretariat posting orders, via the orgpedia/cabsec open dataset. This is the swearing-in snapshot from June 2024, there may have been portfolio changes since that we haven't individually re-verified, except where separately confirmed elsewhere in this app.
Manifestos
What each party promised, and how it compares
Promises are paraphrased from published party manifestos and election reporting, organised by topic for comparison. This is not an assessment of which promises were kept.
