History

Yio Chu Kang Constituency was created in 1980. At the election held in the same year, Lau Ping Sum from the PAP won with 87.53% of the vote. He would represent the constituency until 1991, when it was abolished and merged into Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (GRC).

In 1988, the constituency was renamed Yio Chu Kang Single Member Constituency with the creation of GRCs.

Yio Chu Kang SMC would not exist after the 1991 general election until it was reformed in 2006 from Ang Mo Kio GRC. At the election held in the same year, Seng Han Thong from the PAP won with 68.28% of the vote. The SMC was abolished for the second time after a single term.

For the 2020 general election, the SMC was reformed for the second time from Ang Mo Kio GRC. Yip Hon Weng from the PAP won with 60.82% of the vote against Kayla Low from the Progress Singapore Party (PSP). Yip won an improved 78.75% of the vote when he ran for reelection in 2025 against Michael Fang from the People's Alliance for Reform (PAR).
