Perspective
Creation
In the 2011 general elections, Nee Soon GRC was created by merging parts of Ang Mo Kio GRC's Nee Soon South, Sembawang GRC's Canberra and Chong Pang and Nee Soon Central and Nee Soon East SMCs.[1]
The ward saw a contest between the incumbent People's Action Party led by anchor minister K. Shanmugam against the Workers' Party team led by Poh Lee Guan. The PAP eventually won with 58.40% of the total ballots for the electoral division. Incidentally, this was the one of the two highest vote percentage for the PAP in a Workers' Party-contested constituency.[2] In the 2015 general elections the Canberra division and portions of Chong Pang, Nee Soon East and Nee Soon South divisions from Nee Soon GRC (forming Gambas division) were moved back to Sembawang GRC while Kebun Baru division of Ang Mo Kio GRC was moved here instead. The PAP once again faced off a challenge from the Workers' Party team winning an improved 66.83% of the vote.[3] Prior to the 2020 general elections, the Kebun Baru division was carved out as an SMC due to the rising population of the GRC.[4] Lee Bee Wah retired from politics and was replaced by Carrie Tan.[5][6] While the Workers' Party did not contest in Nee Soon GRC, the Progress Singapore Party contested here instead. The PAP managed to retain the GRC with 61.90% of the vote against the PSP's 38.10%.[7][8]
2025 elections
Prior to the 2025 general election, Shanmugam announced that he will be leading a new team for the GRC with four new members, former Nominated MP Syed Harun Alhabsyi, Jackson Lam (former PAP Hougang branch chairman),[9] Lee Hui Ying and Goh Hanyan.[10] Former incumbent MPs Louis Ng, Carrie Tan and Derrick Goh announced their retirement from politics,[11] while Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim moved to Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.[12][13][14][15]
