Elections were held on April 28th. The 21 legislative seats were contested by 11 parties, of which only seven obtained at least one seat (down from eight in the last government). This highlights the high degree of political fragmentation on the island. The PAR, MAN and MFK were the only parties to obtain a substantial amount of seats (at least five). Since the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010, no government in Curaçao has lasted the full length of its four-year term, and there is a considerable chance that the new ruling coalition will suffer from internal friction, presenting risks to political stability. The next elections are due in 2021, but there is a high risk of early elections before that date due to the coalition's very slim majority of one legislator.
