History

[edit]

Creation (2011)

[edit]

Prior to the 2011 general election, Hong Kah GRC and Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency (SMC) were abolished; the Hong Kah North division of Hong Kah GRC became Hong Kah North SMC,[2] while the remainder was merged with the entirety of Chua Chu Kang SMC to become Chua Chu Kang GRC.[3] The PAP defeated the National Solidarity Party (NSP) with 61.2% of the vote.[4]

Downsizing (2015)

[edit]

During the 2015 general election, Chua Chu Kang GRC lost a seat, becoming a four-member GRC, after its Yew Tee division was transferred to the newly created Marsiling–Yew Tee GRC.[5] The PAP defeated the People's Power Party (PPP) with 76.91% of the vote.[6]

First PSP contest (2020)

[edit]

In the 2020 general election, Chua Chu Kang GRC lost territory to Hong Kah North SMC and West Coast GRC.[7] The PAP defeated the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) with a decreased 58.64% of the vote.[8]

Major boundary changes and second PSP contest (2025)

[edit]

Prior to the 2025 general election, Hong Kah North SMC was abolished; its Tengah estates were transferred to Chua Chu Kang GRC. At the same time, the Bukit Gombak and Hillview estates in the GRC were carved out to become the newly created Bukit Gombak SMC.[9]

On Nomination Day, Gan Kim Yong, the Deputy Prime Minister and previous anchor minister for Chua Chu Kang GRC, was nominated at the last minute to lead the PAP team for the newly created Punggol GRC against that of the Workers' Party (WP).[10] He was replaced by Tan See Leng, the Minister for Manpower, who had originally been positioned in Marine Parade–Braddell Heights GRC.[11][12]

The PAP defeated the PSP with 63.6% of the vote.[8][13]
