Chua Chu Kang Group Representation Constituency

The Chua Chu Kang Group Representation Constituency is a four-member Group Representation Constituency located in the western area of Singapore. The GRC has four wards: Chua Chu Kang, Tengah, Keat Hong and Brickland. Only a small portion of the constituency is residential, with most of its area consisting of the Western Water Catchment. The current Members of Parliament are Choo Pei Ling, Jeffrey Siow, Tan See Leng and Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim from the People's Action Party (PAP).

History

Prior to 2011, the area constituting Chua Chu Kang GRC was administered under Hong Kah GRC and Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency (SMC). Chua Chu Kang SMC was one of the oldest surviving constituencies in Singapore and the only one to have remained intact before Singapore's independence, existing since 1959 when Singapore gained full self-governance from its colonial British Government.

In 2001, Bukit Gombak SMC was absorbed into the former Hong Kah GRC with the town council being Hong Kah Town Council. In 2015, Yew Tee was absorbed into the newly created Marsiling–Yew Tee GRC.

The 2011 elections saw the reformation of both wards with every ward of Hong Kah GRC and Chua Chu Kang being merged into Chua Chu Kang GRC, with the exception of the Hong Kah North ward that had been carved out to become an SMC.

In 2020, the rest of Tengah were moved from Chua Chu Kang GRC to Hong Kah North SMC. Most of the residential portions of Nanyang were shifted to West Coast GRC, while the less populated areas were allocated to Keat Hong ward.

Prior to the 2025 general election, the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee moved new housing developments in Tengah from Hong Kah North SMC to Chua Chu Kang GRC. To maintain Chua Chu Kang GRC as a 4-MP GRC while accommodating significant future population growth in Tengah, estates in Bukit Gombak and Hillview were carved out to form a new Bukit Gombak SMC.

On 14 April 2025, it was announced that incumbent MP Don Wee would not be contesting the election. As Low Yen Ling's ward was carved out to form Bukit Gombak SMC, she left the GRC team to contest the SMC. Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong remained the team leader for the GRC with existing member Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim and two newcomers, Jeffrey Siow and Choo Pei Ling.

On Nomination Day, Gan was instead nominated to contest for Punggol GRC, instead of Chua Chu Kang GRC, against the Workers' Party (WP) team led by Harpreet Singh Nehal as the lead anchor for Punggol. Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng who was announced to contest for Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC became the candidate for Chua Chu Kang GRC in a swap with Gan. In response to questions about the move, Tan stated that "I don't think I've ever abandoned Marine Parade. It was a walkover, it was a walkover. It was a walkover. I've said it three times", and further explained that accordingly he had decided to "stand up when called upon to go to anywhere that the party and the country think they need me to go".

The PAP team won the election against a Progress Singapore Party team with almost 64 percent of the vote.
