    The Mountbatten Single Member Constituency is a single member constituency in the central-southeastern part of Singapore. It is managed by Marine Parade Town Council. The current Member of Parliament for the constituency is Gho Sze Kee from the People's Action Party (PAP).

    History

    Mountbatten Constituency was created in 1957.

    In 1988, the constituency was renamed Mountbatten Single Member Constituency following the establishment of Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs).[1] It was merged into Marine Parade GRC before the 1997 general election.

    In 2011, Mountbatten SMC was recreated when the ward of the same name in Marine Parade GRC was carved out. Lim Biow Chuan, the incumbent MP for the ward, contested the SMC and won.[2]

    In 2025, a polling district was moved from the constituency to Marine Parade–Braddell Heights Group Representation Constituency (GRC).[3] During the 2025 general election, it was announced that Lim would retire from politics, with Gho replacing him as the PAP candidate for the SMC.[4][5] She defeated independent Jeremy Tan with 63.82% of the vote, a negative swing of 10% from 2020.[6][7]
