Aljunied GRC

Not to be confused with the smaller constituency with a similar name of Aljunied Single Member Constituency, which existed since the pre-independence era. This article is describing a present ward.

Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (Template:Zh; Template:Lang-ms; Template:Lang-ta) is a five-member group representation constituency (GRC) in the north-eastern and eastern region of Singapore. This opposition-held GRC consists of a large part of Hougang (excluding the Hougang Single Member Constituency), Paya Lebar, Serangoon Gardens, the southern half of Serangoon North, as well as a portion of Bedok and a very small section of Tampines.

Aljunied GRC was formed in 1988. During the time it was under the control of the People's Action Party (PAP), it absorbed several GRCs that the Workers' Party (WP) might have otherwise won (namely the Eunos and Kaki Bukit wards of the Eunos GRC in 1997, as well as the Punggol East and Punggol South divisions of the Cheng San GRC in 2001). However, Aljunied GRC itself fell to the WP during the 2011 general elections, making it the first GRC to have been won by a party other than the PAP since the introduction of the GRC concept in 1988.

This GRC has been hotly contested in the 2006, 2011 and 2015 General Elections. At the most recent general election, the PAP team consisting of former MP Yeo Guat Kwang and four first-time candidates lost by a close margin, garnering a vote share of 49.04%. Currently, Aljunied GRC is led by the Secretary-General of the WP, Mr Pritam Singh, after former leader Low Thia Khiang stepped down his position on 8 April 2018.^[1]
