Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will hand over power on May 15, 2024 to his deputy Lawrence Wong. The city state’s current finance minister, Wong became deputy prime minister in 2022. He was not the original choice to be Lee’s successor, but came into his own when he made his mark as the co-leader of the government’s Covid-19 pandemic task force. This will be only the country’s third leadership transition since independence in 1965.
