Aljunied Group Representation Constituency

The Aljunied Group Representation Constituency is a five-member group representation constituency (GRC) in the north-eastern and eastern region of Singapore. It consists of a large part of Hougang (excluding Hougang SMC), Paya Lebar, Serangoon Gardens, the southern half of Serangoon North as well as a portion of Bedok. The GRC consists of five divisions: Eunos, Bedok Reservoir-Punggol, Kaki Bukit, Serangoon and Paya Lebar.

Aljunied GRC was formed in 1988 and was won by the People's Action Party (PAP) against the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) with 56.33% of the votes to 43.67%. It was uncontested in 1991, and was contested again in 1997 by the SDP but ultimately performed much poorer as compared to 1988, garnering only 32.98% of the votes against 67.02% from the PAP. It was uncontested once more in 2001. In 2006, the Workers' Party (WP) began contesting in the area, garnering 43.91% of the votes to the PAP's 56.09%.

In 2011, a WP team, led by party leader Low Thia Khiang, left his seat at Hougang SMC to contest in this division. They made a historic breakthrough when the WP team won the election for the GRC with 54.72% of the votes to the PAP's 45.28%, making it the first GRC to be won by an opposition party since the introduction of the GRC system in 1988.

In 2015, a PAP team led by Yeo Guat Kwang contested the constituency. As part of a national swing towards the PAP due to SG50 and only a few months after the death of Lee Kuan Yew, the WP almost lost the division back to the PAP. During the vote counting, a recount was requested by the PAP team as the difference in votes between the two teams was less than two per cent of the total valid votes cast. Following the recount, Aljunied GRC's electoral result was declared last at 3.10am the following morning with WP ultimately retaining the constituency by a narrow margin of just 1.9%, or a majority of 2,612.

In 2020, Low and Chen Show Mao declined to run for re-election. Led by WP's new party leader Pritam Singh, the WP retained the GRC with 59.95% of the vote, a 9% swing from the previous election.

In July 2023, a video surfaced that allegedly showed the MP for the Serangoon ward Leon Perera holding hands intimately with fellow WP member Nicole Seah. On 19 July, WP secretary-general Pritam Singh revealed that Perera and Seah began an affair some time after the 2020 general elections, which had ended before the video surfaced. Perera resigned as a Member of Parliament and as a Member of the WP on 19 July 2023 and Seah resigned from the party on 18 July 2023. After Perera's resignation, The workload for Serangoon was distributed among the other MPs in Aljunied GRC.

In August 2024, the PAP appointed Jagathishwaran Rajo and Kenny Sim to replace Chua Eng Leong and Alex Yeo respectively as the chairs of the Eunos and Paya Lebar PAP branches. The PAP again replaced three of its five current Aljunied branch chairpersons in February 2025 and appointed Faisal Abdul Aziz, Daniel Liu and Adrian Ang to replaced outgoing branch chairperson, Kenny Sim, Shamsul Kamar and Victor Lye. In 2025, and despite a national swing towards the PAP, the WP ended up retaining the GRC with almost 60% of the votes to the PAP's 40%.

On 11 March 2025, the Elections Department updated the electoral divisions for the 2025 Singaporean general election. Some polling districts to the east of Bedok Reservoir were absorbed by Tampines West ward of Tampines GRC. The number of MPs that the GRC elects remained at five. This was the first time that a non-PAP and opposition-held constituency had its boundaries redrawn, albeit slightly.

Note : Elections Department Singapore do not include rejected votes for calculation of candidate's vote share. Hence, the total of all candidates' vote share will be 100%.
