In a notable development for Singapore’s General Election 2025 (GE2025), the newly formed Marine Parade–Braddell Heights Group Representation Constituency (GRC) will be a walkover, with the People’s Action Party (PAP) securing the GRC unopposed.
This is the first walkover since 2011, when the PAP team led by then-minister mentor Lee Kuan Yew clinched Tanjong Pagar GRC.
This outcome follows the absence of opposition candidates, including those from the Workers’ Party (WP), who were previously speculated to contest in this GRC.
The WP has contested in Marine Parade since GE2015; however, it appears that the party has decided that its best chances for victory lie in fielding strong teams in Punggol GRC and Tampines GRC, instead of Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.
PAP has also pulled another surprise move, with the replacement of Tan See Leng, who was originally slated to be part of the Marine Parade team, with new candidate Goh Pei Ming, a former chief of staff at the Singapore Armed Forces.
