[SINGAPORE] Tampines GRC will be the stage for the only four-cornered contest in the 2025 general election, with three opposition parties challenging the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP). This will be the first four-way fight in a Group Representation Constituency since the 1992 by-election, and the first ever in a general election.
This was after the Workers’ Party (WP) and the People’s Power Party (PPP) threw their hats into the ring, joining the contest expected between the National Solidarity Party (NSP) and PAP in the five-member GRC.
The last time a four-cornered fight took place in a GRC was in 1992, during the Marine Parade by-election where PAP faced the Singapore Democratic Party, NSP and the Singapore Justice Party, which is now a component party of the Singapore Democratic Alliance. PAP won with 72.9 per cent of the votes.
