GE2025: PAP, PSP, PAR Contest New Single-Seat Wards

Singapore's upcoming General Election will see several newly formed and existing Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) contested by the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) against various opposition parties. In Marymount SMC, PAP’s Gan Siow Huang, an incumbent with a military background, faces Jeffrey Khoo from the Progress Singapore Party, who emphasizes the need for more alternative voices in parliament. Jurong Central SMC will have PAP's Xie Yao Quan competing against Red Dot United’s Kala Manickam, who is focusing her campaign on housing affordability and job security. Tampines Changkat SMC, newly carved out due to population growth, features a contest between PAP’s Desmond Choo and Workers’ Party’s Kenneth Foo, with both candidates highlighting their commitment to serving residents' needs. In Queenstown SMC, PAP’s Eric Chua, formerly part of Tanjong Pagar GRC, is up against Mahaboob Batcha from the People’s Alliance for Reform. These contests reflect ongoing efforts by opposition groups to challenge the long-dominant PAP across Singapore’s evolving electoral landscape.
