Electoral history
Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC was created for the 2025 general election by merging parts of Hong Kah North Single Member Constituency (SMC) and Jurong GRC with the whole of Bukit Batok SMC and part of Yuhua SMC.[2] Jurong Central SMC was created from Jurong GRC and the remainder of Yuhua SMC, while the Jurong Spring and Taman Jurong divisions of Jurong GRC were reassigned to West Coast–Jurong West GRC.[2][3]
The PAP announced that Grace Fu, incumbent MP for Yuhua SMC, would lead a team comprising fellow incumbents Murali Pillai (Bukit Batok SMC) and Rahayu Mahzam (Bukit Batok East), Lee Hong Chuang, a former branch chairperson[a] for Hougang SMC, and political newcomer David Hoe.[8] They defeated a team from Red Dot United (RDU) with 76.67% of the vote.[9][10]

Notes
- Another name for a "grassroots advisor", an individual appointed for "grassroots engagement and outreach" in a GRC division or SMC who, according to the People's Association (PA), has to be aligned with the "Government of the day"; in practice, they are a member of the PAP. They do not need to be the elected MP for the area.[4][5][6][7]
