History
[edit | edit source]Prior to the 2020 general election, Marymount SMC was carved from Bishan–Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency (GRC); the five-seat GRC lost a seat to become a four-seat one.[3][4] Incumbent Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC MP Josephine Teo, who had been representing areas located in the SMC,[3] was redeployed to Jalan Besar GRC, a move she called "renewal" of the PAP.[5] Gan, then a political newcomer, was sent to contest the SMC, winning 55.04% of the vote against Ang Yong Guan from the Progress Singapore Party (PSP).[6]
In the 2025 general election, Gan stood for re-election in the SMC. She defeated Jeffrey Khoo from the PSP with an improved 70.73% of the vote.[7][8]
