History
Summarize
Perspective
From 1988 till 2020, the GRC was contested in every election in a two way fight except for the 1997 general election when it was a walkover for the PAP.[1]
In both the 2015 and 2020 general elections, the PAP had more votes shares in Tampines GRC than PAP's national vote share with 72.06 percent against 69.9 percent and 66.41 percent against 61.2 percent respectively.[1]
On 17 July 2023, it was revealed by Lee Hsien Loong that Cheng, who was not married, had an extramarital affair with fellow MP and Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin since at least November 2020,[2] which prompted their resignations from Parliament and the PAP on the same day.[3] Masagos became the grassroots adviser for Tampines East division to cover the seat vacated by Cheng.[4]
In 2025, in the leadup to the 2025 general election, the incumbent PAP was likely challenged by Workers' Party, National Solidarity Party and the People's Power Party in a four way fight.[5] On 11 March, the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee released their report on the boundaries changes for the 2025 general election.[6] Tampines Changkat ward of the GRC was carved out to form the Tampines Changkat Single Member Constituency (SMC) while small parts of Aljunied GRC were absorbed into Tampines GRC for the 2025 general election. The removal was to reduce the number of voters in the GRC.[7][8]
