The Punggol Group Representation Constituency is a four-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the north-eastern region of Singapore. It consists of the defunct Punggol West Single Member Constituency (SMC), as well as the Punggol section of Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC. The current Members of Parliament are Gan Kim Yong, Janil Puthucheary, Sun Xueling and Yeo Wan Ling from the People's Action Party (PAP).

History

Before the 2025 general election, Punggol GRC was formed by merging the entirety of Punggol West SMC with the Punggol Coast and Punggol Shore wards of Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC. This was ostensibly done due to population growth in Punggol, as well as a need to better reflect the geographical location of the town.{{cite web |last=Koh |first=Fabian |date=11 March 2025 |title=GE2025: Extensive changes to electoral boundaries due to population shifts; only 5 GRCs, 4 SMCs left intact |url=https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/ge2025-ebrc-grc-smc-general-election-boundary-changes-4992551 |access-date=11 March 2025 |website=CNA |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=The Report of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee, 2025 |website=Elections Department Singapore |url=https://www.eld.gov.sg/pdf/White_Paper_on_the_Report_of_the_Electoral_Boundaries_Review_Committee_2025.pdf |date=2025-03-11 |access-date=2025-03-23}}

During the 2025 general election, Gan Kim Yong was nominated on Nomination Day to head the PAP team for Punggol GRC against that of the Workers' Party (WP) led by Harpreet Singh Nehal, contradicting earlier assumptions that he would stay in Chua Chu Kang GRC.{{Cite news |date=2025-04-23 |title=GE2025: PAP keeps opposition guessing with last-minute deployments on Nomination Day |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/ge2025-pap-keeps-opposition-guessing-with-last-minute-deployments-on-nomination-day |access-date=2025-04-25 |work=The Straits Times |language=en |issn=0585-3923}} The PAP proceeded to win with 55% of the vote.{{Cite news |date=2025-05-04 |title=GE2025: ‘Task force man’ Gan Kim Yong leads PAP to win Punggol GRC |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/ge2025-results-task-force-man-gan-leads-pap-to-win-in-punggol-grc |access-date=2025-06-05 |work=The Straits Times |language=en |issn=0585-3923}}

Constituency profile
