The Mountbatten Single Member Constituency[a] is a single member constituency (SMC) located in the central–southeastern part of Singapore. It is managed by Marine Parade–Braddell Heights Town Council (MPBHTC). The current Member of Parliament for the constituency is Gho Sze Kee from the governing People's Action Party (PAP).
History
Mountbatten Constituency was established in 1957; it was first contested at the 1959 general election and won by Seow Peck Leng from the Singapore People's Alliance (SPA). It was one of the few constituencies not won by the PAP, which secured 43 out of 51 seats in that general election. The PAP gained control of the constituency in the 1963 general election through the election of Ng Yeow Chong. He served as the Member of Parliament until his retirement at the 1980 general election, after which he was succeeded by Eugene Yap.
At the 1988 general election, with the introduction of Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs), the constituency was renamed Mountbatten Single Member Constituency in line with the new designation for constituencies with a single MP.[2]
For the 2020 general election, Lim stood for reelection in Mountbatten SMC; he defeated Peoples Voice (PV) newcomer Sivakumaran Chellappa with an improved 73.82% of the vote despite a national swing against the PAP.[9][10][11]
Prior to the 2025 general election, a polling district was moved from Mountbatten SMC to the newly created Marine Parade–Braddell Heights GRC.[12] It was announced at the same election that Lim would retire from politics; Gho, a political newcomer, replaced him as the PAP candidate for the SMC.[13][14] She defeated independent candidate and Bitcoin investor Jeremy Tan with 63.82% of the vote, a negative swing of 10% from 2020.[15][16]
Note : Elections Department Singapore do not include rejected votes for calculation of candidate's vote share. Hence, the total of all candidates' vote share will be 100%.
