TheWest Coast Group Representation Constituency was a five-membergroup representation constituency (GRC) inwestern andcentralSingapore. It covered the areas ofJurong,Dover,Pasir Panjang,West Coast andTelok Blangah, as well asJurong Island, an offshore island of Singapore.^[1] At abolition, it had five divisions: Ayer Rajah–Gek Poh, Boon Lay, Nanyang, Telok Blangah and West Coast, managed by West CoastTown Council.^[2]

Prior to the1997 general election, West Coast GRC was created from the GRCs ofBrickworks, which was abolished at the same election, andTanjong Pagar; it was assigned fourMembers of Parliament (MPs).^[3] The governingPeople's Action Party (PAP) defeated theWorkers' Party (WP) with 70.14% of the vote.^[4]

In the2001 general election,Boon Lay Single Member Constituency (SMC) was abolished and absorbed into West Coast GRC, which gained one MP to become a five-member GRC.^[5] The PAP team won unopposed.^[6]

In the2006 general election, the GRC absorbedAyer Rajah SMC;Tan Cheng Bock, incumbent PAP MP for the SMC and future opposition politician, made his initial retirement from politics at the same election.^[7] The PAP team won unopposed for the second consecutive election.^[8]

In the2011 general election,Pioneer SMC was carved out of West Coast GRC;^[9] the PAP defeated theReform Party (RP) with 66.57% of the vote.^[10] At the same election,Lawrence Wong, futurePrime Minister and MP forMarsiling–Yew Tee GRC, made his political debut as a PAP candidate for West Coast GRC. He was assigned to the Boon Lay division.^[11][12]

In the2015 general election, West Coast GRC lost itsClementi division toJurong GRC, becoming a four-member GRC in the process.^[13][14] The PAP defeated the RP with 78.57% of the vote.^[7]

In 2019, Tan co-founded the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) with 11 others, a part of whom had, like him, previously belonged to the PAP. Together withLee Hsien Yang, the estranged younger brother of then-Prime MinisterLee Hsien Loong, the 12 said that the PAP had "lost its way" and deviated from its founding principles. The party was officially registered on 28 March 2019 after being approved by the Registry of Societies.^[15][16][17]

In the2020 general election, West Coast GRC was re-expanded to become a five-member GRC, gaining the Nanyang division ofChua Chu Kang GRC and theJurong West section ofHong Kah North SMC.^[1]

During the election,Desmond Lee andAng Wei Neng, both incumbent PAP MPs for Jurong GRC, were redeployed to the GRC. Tan, meanwhile, contested West Coast GRC, personally leading the PSP's "A-team";^[18][19] the move was framed as a return to his defunctAyer Rajah SMC.^[1][18][19] In its worst performance in the history of West Coast GRC, the PAP defeated the PSP with 51.68% of the vote.^[7][18]

After the election, twonon-constituency MP (NCMP) seats were offered to the PSP team for West Coast GRC by virtue of their electoral performance.Hazel Poa andLeong Mun Wai were appointed.^[18]

In January 2024,S. Iswaran resigned from the PAP, theministership for transport and his seat as MP for West Coast GRC. Hehad been charged in theState Courts of Singapore with 27 charges relating to bribery and corruption following investigations that started in July 2023.^[20][21]

Prior to the 2025 general election, West Coast GRC was abolished, with the majority of its area being merged into the newWest Coast–Jurong West GRC. Estates inTelok Blangah andDover were reassigned toTanjong Pagar GRC, while those inHarbourfront and on the offshore island ofSentosa were reassigned toRadin Mas SMC alongside theSouthern Islands.^[22][23][24]
