Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency

Before the creation of Marine Parade GRC, Goh Chok Tong had been the Member of Parliament for the Marine Parade Single Member Constituency since being first elected in 1976. In 1991, the constituency was expanded to four seats when it include MacPherson SMC, before it expands to six seats after coving the areas of Kembangan, Mountbatten, and Serangoon (both Braddell Heights and Serangoon Gardens).

The Serangoon ward was part of the constituency until 2006, when it was redrawn into the Aljunied GRC. In 2011, the ward was downsized to five members where Mountbatten was carved as a SMC, Kaki Bukit was carved to Aljunied GRC and MacPherson SMC was absorbed. In 2015, the MacPherson ward was carved out again as an SMC, while Joo Chiat SMC was returned to this GRC after over 18 years.

The GRC saw its by-election in 1992 due to the resignation of all four MPs (including Goh), as Goh wanted to secure another fresh, stronger mandate after the opposition made unprecedented gains in the 1991 elections (winning three more seats on top of the then-opposition Potong Pasir ward), and Lim Chee Oon announced his retirement while being succeeded by Teo Chee Hean (who would later become the MP for Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC, the current Deputy Prime Minister and Co-ordinating Minister for National Security). Its contest was a four-cornered fight involving the National Solidarity Party, the Singapore Democratic Party (led by now-Secretary General Chee Soon Juan, who made his political debut), and Singapore Justice Party (now part of the Singapore Democratic Alliance).

Since the by-election victory, Marine Parade GRC were uncontested for the next three elections until 2011, where the ward faced a fierce contest against the National Solidarity Party team led by Nicole Seah which also included former MP Cheo Chai Chen. Another two fierce contests occurred in the 2015 elections and the 2020 elections, this time with the largest opposition party, the Workers' Party team led by former NCMP Yee Jenn Jong.

Due to the release of the EBRC report for the 2020 General Election, the Joo Seng and Woodleigh portions of the Geylang Serai ward have been carved out and moved to the neighbouring Potong Pasir SMC to allow further development at the entire Bidadari estate.

Goh Chok Tong retired from politics after 44 years as a Member of Parliament prior to the 2020 general election; he was succeeded by Tan See Leng.

Marine Parade GRC with MacPherson SMC & Mountbatten SMC are managed under the same town council, Marine Parade Town Council.
