Aljunied Group Representation Constituency
The Aljunied Group Representation Constituency is a five-member group representation constituency in the north-eastern and eastern region of Singapore. This opposition-held GRC consists of a large part of Hougang, Paya Lebar, Serangoon Gardens, the southern half of Serangoon North, as well as a portion of Bedok and a very small section of Tampines.
Aljunied GRC was formed in 1988. During the time it was under the control of the People's Action Party, it absorbed several GRCs that the Workers' Party might have otherwise won. However, Aljunied GRC itself fell to the WP during the 2011 general elections, making it the first GRC to have been won by a party other than the PAP since the introduction of the GRC concept in 1988.
This GRC has been hotly contested in the 2006, 2011 and most notably the 2015 general election, where the PAP team consisting of former MP Yeo Guat Kwang and four first-time candidates lost by a close margin, garnering a vote share of 49.04%. Aljunied GRC is currently led by the Secretary-General of the WP, Pritam Singh. From 2011 to 2020, Aljunied GRC was led by Low Thia Khiang, and on 2020 general elections, he and Chen Show Mao were retired and replaced by next generation of MPs, Gerald Giam and Leon Perera. In the 2020 general election, the WP won the GRC with 60% of the votes, a 9% swing from the previous election.Members of Parliament
