TheAljunied Group Representation Constituency is a five-membergroup representation constituency (GRC) innorth-eastern andeasternSingapore. It has five divisions: Bedok Reservoir–Punggol, Eunos, Kaki Bukit, Paya Lebar and Serangoon, managed by Aljunied–HougangTown Council. The currentMembers of Parliament (MPs) for the constituency areFadli Fawzi,Gerald Giam,Sylvia Lim,Pritam Singh, andKenneth Tiong from theWorkers' Party (WP).

Aljunied GRC was formed in1988 and was won by the governingPeople's Action Party (PAP) against theSingapore Democratic Party (SDP) with 56.33% of the vote in a two-way contest.^[1][2] It was uncontested in1991.^[3] The SDP returned to the GRC in1997, but with a much poorer result compared to 1988, garnering 32.98% of the vote compared to the 43.67% they had previously garnered.^[4]

Aljunied GRC was uncontested again in2001;^[5] the WP had attempted to nominate a team for the GRC, however, it was disqualified.^[6] In2006, the WP successfully nominated a team for the GRC, which lost with 43.91% of the vote.^[7] By virtue of the WP team's performance, the solenon-constituency MP (NCMP) seat at the election was offered to one of their members;Sylvia Lim accepted it.^[8]

In 2011, party leaderLow Thia Khiang, who had left his seat atHougang Single Member Constituency (SMC), led a WP team in Aljunied GRC against the PAP team led byGeorge Yeo andLim Hwee Hua. With 54.72% of the vote, they won the first GRC for the opposition since the creation of GRCs in 1988.^[9][10] Yeo and Lim were the first twocabinet ministers since Singaporean independence, as well as the1963 election, to be defeated for reelection.^[11] During the campaign, then-Minister MentorLee Kuan Yew threatened that voters in Aljunied GRC would "repent" for the following five years if they voted for the WP, leading to post-election speculation that the threat had backfired for the PAP.^[12]

In2015, a PAP team led byYeo Guat Kwang, then-MP forAng Mo Kio GRC and former MP for Aljunied GRC, contested Aljunied GRC.^[11] After the vote count was completed, said team requested arecount as the initial difference in votes between the PAP and WP teams was under 2% of the vote.^[10] Following the recount, Aljunied GRC's electoral result was declared last at around 3.10am the morning after Election Day; the unchanged WP team retained it by 1.9% of the vote, or 2,612 votes.^[10][a] It was later revealed that the PAP had won in the divisions of Serangoon and Paya Lebar, which Yeo andMurali Pillai would respectively have represented, by around 300 votes each.^[14]

In 2020, Low andChen Show Mao declined to run for re-election.^[15] Led by new party leaderPritam Singh, the WP retained the GRC with 59.95% of the vote, a positive swing of 9% from the previous election.^[16][17]

In July 2023, a video surfaced that allegedly showedLeon Perera holding hands "intimately" with fellow WP memberNicole Seah. On 19 July, Singh revealed that the two had begun an affair some time after the2020 general election, which had ended before the video surfaced. Perera resigned from Parliament and the WP on the same day while Seah had already done so the previous day. After Perera's resignation, the workload for Serangoon was distributed among the other MPs for Aljunied GRC.^[18]

In August 2024, the PAP appointed Jagathishwaran Rajo and Kenny Sim to replace Chua Eng Leong and Alex Yeo respectively as the chairpersons of the Eunos and Paya Lebar PAP branches.^[19] The PAP again replaced three of its five branch chairpersons^[b] for Aljunied GRC in February 2025, appointing Faisal Abdul Aziz, Daniel Liu and Adrian Ang to replace Kenny Sim, Shamsul Kamar andVictor Lye.^[22]

On 11 March 2025, theElections Department (ELD)updated the electoral divisions for thegeneral election later in the same year. Polling districts in Aljunied GRC to the east of Bedok Reservoir were absorbed byTampines GRC; the number of MPs for Aljunied GRC remained at five. This was the first time an opposition-held constituency had its boundaries redrawn.^[24]

Prior to the same election, the WP announced 2 new candidates for the GRC:Fadli Fawzi, former candidate forMarine Parade GRC, and political newcomerKenneth Tiong. They were to contest alongside the incumbent MPs, exceptFaisal Manap, who had been deployed to lead the WP team for Tampines GRC.^[25] Despite a national swing towards the PAP, the WP retained the GRC with 59.71% of the vote, a vote share similar to that of 2020.^[17][26]

Note: TheElections Department does not include rejected votes when calculating the vote shares of candidates. Hence, all candidates' vote shares will total to 100% at any given election (may not appear so in multi-way contests due to rounding).
