Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency
- Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency
Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (Traditional Chinese: 宏茂橋集選區;Simplified Chinese: 宏茂桥集选区) is a six-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the north eastern region of Singapore. The constituency encompasses the majority of Ang Mo Kio, Teck Ghee, Kebun Baru, Yio Chu Kang, Jalan Kayu, Seletar Hills, part of Serangoon North, the western portion of Sengkang - Fernvale, Anchorvale and the southern portion of Yishun - Nee Soon South. In the 2001 general election, the constituency was enlarged to include most parts of the Cheng San Group Representation Constituency.
The town centre of Ang Mo Kio was part of the group representation constituency until the general election in 2006, when the boundaries were redrawn and an area was carved out into a new Single Member Constituency known as Yio Chu Kang Single Member Constituency.
Ang Mo Kio GRC is led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong who is the MP for Teck Ghee. The GRC has been held by the People's Action Party since its formation in 1991. The constituency had never been contested before in the three general elections before 2006.
