The PAP is setting up new branches in several parts of Singapore as it moves to strengthen its ground presence following the 2025 General Election.

At least six new branches are being established in places such as Tengah, Punggol and Tampines, based on social media announcements and online updates seen by The Straits Times.

The expansion of PAP's ground infrastructure comes after adjustments to Singapore's electoral map due to population growth, with four new seats added to bring the total number of elected seats in Parliament from 93 to 97.

The PAP won 87 out of the 97 seats at the general election.

In the new Punggol GRC, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong started Meet-the-People Sessions (MPS) at Block 402 Northshore Drive. ST understands that a new PAP branch will be set up there.

Over in Pasir Ris-Changi GRC, MP Sharael Taha said a new branch is being set up in the constituency.

He added that he and first-time MP Valerie Lee had already held their first joint MPS for residents in Changi and Pasir Ris East at Block 216 in Pasir Ris.
