TheAng Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency is a five-membergroup representation constituency (GRC) innorth-easternSingapore. It has five divisions: Ang Mo Kio–Hougang, Buangkok–Fernvale South, Cheng San, Seletar–Serangoon and Teck Ghee, managed by Ang Mo KioTown Council.[1] The currentMembers of Parliament (MPs) for the constituency areDarryl David,Nadia Ahmad Samdin,Jasmin Lau,Victor Lye andLee Hsien Loong from the governingPeople's Action Party (PAP).
Ang Mo Kio GRC was created prior to the1991 general election with four MPs. It was an amalgamation of the foursingle-member constituencies (SMCs) ofAng Mo Kio,Kebun Baru,Teck Ghee andYio Chu Kang.[2]
Prior to the1997 general election, the GRC was expanded to have five members.[3] For the2001 general election, it was expanded again to have six members to include the Cheng San and Jalan Kayu divisions from the formerCheng San GRC.[4]
During the2006 general election, the GRC was considered a battleground as it faced its first electoral contest since its creation; all prior general elections had seen walkovers for the PAP. A group ofGeneration X candidates from theWorkers' Party (WP), led byYaw Shin Leong, was contesting against the PAP.[5] Lee, the PAP anchor and then-Prime Minister, called the WP team a "suicide squad"; the WP team responded by claiming that they were not pushovers.[6] The PAP won 66.14% of the vote.[7]
During the2011 general election, despite a national swing against the PAP, the PAP team won an improved 69.33% of the vote against theReform Party (RP).[7] At the same general election, the PAP lostAljunied GRC to the WP.[8]
Before the2015 general election,Inderjit Singh andSeng Han Thong retired from politics,[9][10] whileYeo Guat Kwang was redeployed to lead an ultimately defeated PAP team attempting to reclaim Aljunied GRC from the WP.[8][11]Koh Poh Koon andDarryl David replaced the latter two, while Gan Thiam Poh was redeployed fromPasir Ris–Punggol GRC.[12][13] The PAP won 78.64% of the vote.[7]
Before the2020 general election, with the abolition-in-practice of six-member GRCs, the GRC was shrunk to five members, with the Yio Chu Kang division carved out to becomeYio Chu Kang SMC.[14] NewcomersNg Ling Ling andNadia Ahmad Samdin joined the team while Koh, the MP for the Yio Chu Kang division, left forTampines GRC.[15][16] The PAP defeated the RP with 71.91% of the vote.[7]
Prior to the2025 general election,Jalan Kayu SMC was carved from Ang Mo Kio GRC.[17] During the election, the GRC saw its first three-way contest between the incumbent PAP, thePeople's Power Party (PPP), and theSingapore United Party (SUP), the last of which was participating in its first general election.[18] Lee, now theSenior Minister, continued to lead the PAP team, whileJasmin Lau, a newcomer, andVictor Lye, a former team leader for the PAP in Aljunied GRC, were fielded to replace Ng and Gan, who had retired from politics.[19][20][21] The PAP won the contest with almost 79% of the vote; the other two parties received around 10% each.[22] For failing to secure at least 12.5% of the vote, both PPP and SUP forfeited their election deposits.[22]

^ Balaji died in his sleep on 27 September 2010 due to cancer relapse. No by-election was held as his death did not fully vacate the parliamentary representation in the GRC.
