“Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he plans to call a national election ‘imminently’ as the May 17 deadline for electing a new parliament is fast approaching. ‘It will be in May, I can guarantee that. And it will be called pretty imminently,’ Albanese told radio station Triple M on Thursday. … Separate reports from The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian newspapers said Albanese is scheduled to visit Governor-General Sam Mostyn’s in Canberra on Friday to call the election. Albanese must receive Mostyn’s authorisation, who as governor-general represents the United Kingdom’s King Charles – Australia’s official head of state – to dissolve parliament and declare a general election.” (03/27/25)
