The Hougang Single Member Constituency[a] is a single member constituency (SMC) situated in the northeastern part of Singapore. It is managed by the Aljunied–Hougang Town Council (AHTC). The current Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency is Dennis Tan from the Workers' Party (WP).
History
[edit]The constituency was established prior to the 1988 general election and was initially won by the governing People's Action Party (PAP).[2] However, the PAP only held the constituency for three years, as they lost it to WP candidate Low Thia Khiang in the 1991 general election after a swing of nearly 12%.[3] Low would retain the seat in every subsequent general election until 2011.[4][5][6]
Between 1997 and 2011, Low was one of only two directly elected opposition MPs; the other was Chiam See Tong, MP for Potong Pasir SMC. During the 2006 general election, then-Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong campaigned to help the PAP reclaim the two opposition constituencies, offering a $100 million upgrading plan to Hougang SMC.[7] Despite this, Low increased his vote share to 62.74%.[6]
In the 2011 general election, Low left Hougang SMC to contest the adjacent Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC); Yaw Shin Leong, the new WP candidate, won 64.8% of the vote against PAP candidate Desmond Choo.[8] After an affair, the WP expelled Yaw in 2012 citing "indiscretions in his private life",[9] leading to a by-election that year; Png Eng Huat retained the seat for the WP with a decreased 62.08% of the vote against Choo.[8][10]
In the 2015 general election, Png won reelection with a decreased 57.66% of the vote against PAP candidate Lee Hong Chuang.[8][11]
Png retired before the 2020 general election; WP candidate Dennis Tan retained Hougang SMC with 61.21% of the vote against Lee.[12][13] On 17 October 2023, the PAP appointed Jackson Lam as branch chairperson for the constituency, replacing Lee.[14] Lam was himself replaced by Marshall Lim in February 2025.[14][15] At the 2025 general election, Tan won reelection against Lim with an increased vote share of 62.15%, despite a nationwide swing towards the PAP.[16][17]
Constituency profile
[edit]Hougang SMC covers the northern part of the Hougang planning area. It includes most of the residential zones north of Tampines Road and just west of Sungei Punggol, as well as the town centre and nearby residences to the southwest. The constituency is served by the Hougang Central Bus Interchange and the Hougang MRT station, although the latter is technically located within the adjacent Aljunied GRC, which is also held by the WP.
Having been held by the party since 1991, Hougang SMC is widely regarded as a stronghold for the WP by political analysts.[12]
