The West Coast–Jurong West Group Representation Constituency is a five-member group representation constituency (GRC) in the western region of Singapore. It has six[a] divisions:[1] Ayer Rajah, Boon Lay, Nanyang, Jurong Spring–Gek Poh, Taman Jurong, and West Coast, managed by West Coast–Jurong West Town Council. The current Members of Parliament (MPs) for the constituency are Desmond Lee, Cassandra Lee, Ang Wei Neng, Hamid Razak and Shawn Huang from the governing People's Action Party (PAP).

History

Prior to the 2025 general election, West Coast–Jurong West GRC was created after West Coast GRC, which had absorbed the Jurong Spring and Taman Jurong divisions of Jurong GRC, was renamed. As part of the process of redrawing, the Telok Blangah and Dover estates of West Coast GRC were shifted to Tanjong Pagar GRC, while its easternmost polling district, comprising estates in HarbourFront and on the offshore island of Sentosa, was shifted to Radin Mas Single Member Constituency (SMC).[2][3]

The PAP stood for reelection with a team led by Desmond Lee against the reconfigured A-team of the Progress Singapore Party (PSP), which, having narrowly lost in West Coast GRC, had received both of the non-constituency MP (NCMP) seats offered after the 2020 general election. The PAP won an improved 59.99% of the vote in the new GRC; the PSP, in contrast, lost its NCMP seats.[4][5]
