Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency

The Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency was a group representation constituency (GRC) in central Singapore.

During the 1988 Singaporean general election, Toa Payoh GRC was formed from merging Boon Teck, Khe Bong, Kuo Chuan and Toa Payoh Constituencies.

Kim Keat Single Member Constituency was absorbed in the 1991 elections. In 1997, the ward was merged along with Thomson GRC to form Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC.

Ong would resign in 1993 to contest in the Presidential Election and later become the 5th President of Singapore. After S. Dhanabalan retired from his cabinet position in 1994, it was one of the group representation constituencies without an anchor minister.

^Ong Teng Cheong resigned as Member of Parliament in 1993 to contest for the 1993 presidential election.

Note: The Elections Department does not include rejected votes when calculating the vote shares of candidates. Hence, all candidates' vote shares will total to 100% at any given election (may not appear so in multi-way contests due to rounding).
