Results of CDC by election
The North West CDC is one of a few CDCs with the fewest seats in proportion for GRC per each Parliament and initially started with a few number of seats being contested, but was gradually increased in each election over time. Despite anticipation of difficult contests including those of Singapore Democratic Party, the PAP vote share in this CDC still polled above national average in all but one election, with 2015 being an exception.
