The People's Action Party has won Chua Chu Kang GRC with 63.59% of votes over the Progress Singapore Party.
PAP received 55,000 votes while PSP received 31,488 votes.
PAP's slate, helmed by Manpower Minister Tan See Leng, consists of one-term MP and lawyer Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim, and two first-time candidates — neuroscientist Choo Pei Ling, and former civil servant Jeffrey Siow.
Dr Tan was previously expected to be on the Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC ticket, but was shifted to Chua Chu Kang GRC on the morning of Nomination Day.
He faced questions of abandoning his previous ward and being new to Chua Chu Kang, but he insisted the move only happened because Marine Parade-Braddell Heights was heading for a walkover PAP win.
Dr Tan's move facilitated DPM Gan Kim Yong's transfer to the new Punggol GRC.
After the victory, Dr Tan thanked his predecessor for the work he did in the constituency.
"It’s really a very reassuring win. It’s also a testimony of the residents’ trust in us, and we will never take that for granted," the 60-year-old said.
The PSP team comprises former Singapore Manufacturing Federation secretary-general Lawrence Pek, technology lawyer Wendy Low, training consultant A'bas Kasmani and investment specialist S. Nallakaruppan.
In the 2020 General Election, PAP won Chua Chu Kang with 58.64 per cent of the vote against PSP.
The GRC has 93,368 registered voters this election.
