The 14th Parliament is controlled by the People's Action Party majority, led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and members of the cabinet, which assumed power on 25 July 2020. The initial number of seats of parliament at the start of the term was 104, with 10 seats from the Workers' Party led by Pritam Singh, two Non-Constituency Member of Parliament seats from the Progress Singapore Party, and nine Nominated Members. This is also the first time where the position for the Leader of the Opposition was officialised.

The parliament had the most seats vacated in post-independence since the inaugural Parliament during the term, with six, including Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin who vacated his seat citing extramaritial affair along with Cheng Li Hui, Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam who later contested and won the 2023 Singaporean presidential election and Transport Minister S. Iswaran, who became the first cabinet minister since Teh Cheang Wan in 1986 to be charged for corruption.
