History
The original Kebun Baru SMC was carved from the now-defunct Ang Mo Kio Single Member Constituency in 1980. It was helmed by Lim Boon Heng throughout its first 11 years of existence. It was absorbed into the new Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (GRC) prior to the 1991 general election.
Following the release of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee's report on 13 March 2020, it was announced that, Kebun Baru SMC, would be re-introduced for the 2020 general election.[1] The constituency was carved out of Nee Soon GRC, where the constituency is transferred to in 2015.[2]
In the 2020 general election, People's Action Party's (PAP) Henry Kwek defeated Progress Singapore Party's Kumaran Pillai with a vote count of 62.97% vs 37.03%, which made Kwek the MP for Kebun Baru.
