In its report submitted to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Wednesday (March 11), the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) recommended an increase in the number of elected Members of Parliament from 89 to 93.
The Government has accepted the recommendations. There will be 14 Single-Member Constituencies (SMCs) and 17 Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs), up from the current 13 SMCs and 16 GRCs.
A new four-member Sengkang GRC will be created through a merger of the former Sengkang West and Punggol East SMCs, as well as parts of Pasir-Ris Punggol GRC.
