Perspective
Prior to the 2025 general election, Marine Parade–Braddell Heights GRC was created from Marine Parade GRC. The remainder of the former comprised selected polling districts in the single-member constituencies (SMCs) of Mountbatten and Potong Pasir, as well as the entirety of MacPherson SMC. HDB estates in Chai Chee and the entire Joo Chiat division were moved from Marine Parade GRC to East Coast GRC.[2]
Before 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 being declared for the PAP.[4] This was the first walkover in a general election since 2011.[5] Tan See Leng, the Minister for Manpower, 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 and an extensive redrawing of electoral boundaries from the previous Marine Parade GRC.[7] However, the walkover drew criticism from several smaller opposition parties which stated that they were taken by surprise and disappointment, and that every constituency should be contested.[8]
