The Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency is a five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the North-East Region of Singapore. It it divided into 5 wards: Teck Ghee, Buangkok–Fernvale South, Seletar–Serangoon, Cheng San and Ang Mo Kio–Hougang, managed by Ang Mo Kio Town Council. The current Members of Parliament are Darryl David, Nadia Ahmad Samdin, Jasmin Lau, Victor Lye and Lee Hsien Loong from the People's Action Party (PAP).
History
[edit]Prior to the 1997 general election, the GRC was expanded to five members from the four it had when it was created for the 1991 general election. For the 2001 general election, it was expanded again to six members.
During the 2006 general election, the GRC was considered a battleground as it faced its first electoral contest since its creation; a group of Workers' Party (WP) Gen X candidates led by Yaw Shin Leong was contesting against the PAP.[1] Lee, the PAP anchor and then-Prime Minister, called it a "敢死队" (suicide squad), with the WP team responding by claiming that they were not pushovers.[2] Eventually, the PAP won the election with 66.14% of the vote to the WP's 33.86%, slightly lower than the PAP's 66.6% of the national vote.
During the 2011 general election, where there was a national swing against the PAP, the PAP team won with 69.33% of the vote against the Reform Party (RP), the highest among all GRCs.[3]
Before the 2020 general election, the GRC was shrunk to five members with the abolition of six-member GRCs at that election; the PAP defeated the Reform Party (RP) with 71.91% of the vote.[4][5]
During the 2025 general election, the GRC saw its first three-way contest between the incumbent PAP, the People's Power Party (PPP) and the new Singapore United Party (SUP).[6] The PAP team, led by Lee, now the Senior Minister, won the contest with almost 79% of the vote; the other two parties received around 10% each.[7] For failing to secure at least 12.5% of the vote, both PPP and SUP forfeited their election deposits.[7]
Constituency profile
[edit]The constituency encompasses the majority of Ang Mo Kio (Teck Ghee, Cheng San, portions of Yio Chu Kang), Seletar Hills, the northern half of Serangoon North, a portion of northern Hougang and a portion of Fernvale. The western portion consists of parts of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. It is served by the MRT stations of Yio Chu Kang and Ang Mo Kio in the west, and the LRT stations of Layar and Fernvale on the Sengkang LRT line in Fernvale.
