History
In the 2001 general election, the constituency was enlarged to include most parts of the Cheng San Group Representation Constituency, while during the general election in 2006, the Yio Chu Kang division – where the centre of Ang Mo Kio town is located – was hived off as a Single Member Constituency (SMC). The SMC was subsequently merged back into Ang Mo Kio GRC during the 2011 general election.
Nee Soon South was part of the GRC until 2011 and Kebun Baru until 2015 – both were transferred to the Nee Soon GRC. In their place, parts of northern Hougang were progressively introduced into the GRC; Ang Mo Kio-Hougang in place of Nee Soon South, and Sengkang South in place of Kebun Baru.
In the 2020 general election, Kebun Baru and Yio Chu Kang became SMCs while the GRC absorbed the Fernvale portion of Sengkang West SMC. In return, the Anchorvale portion of Sengkang West SMC was subsumed into the newly-created Sengkang GRC, and Ang Mo Kio GRC's seats were reduced by one to five seats. This GRC is the stronghold area of the ruling People's Action Party as Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is running there.
