North West District of Singapore

The North West Community Development Council is one of five Community Development Councils (CDCs) set up across the Republic of Singapore to aid in local administration of governmental policies and schemes. They are funded in part by the government although they are free to engage in fund-raising activities.

Constituencies

As of May 2025, the North West district covers:

Single Member Constituency (SMC)

Group Representation Constituency (GRC)

Results of CDC by election

The North West CDC is one of a few CDCs with the fewest seats in proportion for GRC per each Parliament and initially started with a few number of seats being contested, but was gradually increased in each election over time. Despite anticipation of difficult contests including those of Singapore Democratic Party, the PAP vote share in this CDC still polled above national average in all but one election, with 2015 being an exception.
