Perspective
The GRC was renamed from Marine Parade GRC for the 2025 general election, having been merged from various constituencies, specifically, parts of the Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) of Potong Pasir and Mountbatten, the whole of MacPherson SMC, and part of the original GRC. HDB estates in Chai Chee and the entire Joo Chiat division were moved from Marine Parade GRC to East Coast GRC.[2]
Prior to Nomination Day, it was assumed that the Workers' Party (WP) and the National Solidarity Party (NSP) could contest the constituency against the PAP.[2] However, the NSP pulled out from the race,[3] and on the day itself, the WP, contrary to expectations, did not nominate a team to contest the GRC, leading to a walkover with only the PAP nominating a team.[4] This was the first walkover in a general election since 2011.[5] Manpower Minister Tan See Leng was also slated to lead the PAP team, but was replaced at the last minute by Goh, a political newcomer, having been redeployed to lead the PAP team for Chua Chu Kang GRC; Seah, being the Speaker of Parliament, was subsequently tasked with anchoring Marine Parade–Braddell Heights GRC.[6]
WP leader Pritam Singh attributed the party's reasoning behind not contesting the GRC to limited resources as well as the extensive redrawing of electoral boundaries from the previous Marine Parade GRC.[7] However, the walkover drew criticism from several smaller opposition parties who stated that they were taken by surprise and disappointment, and that every constituency should be contested.[8]
