List of Singapore opposition party MPs elected
This is a list of members of the Parliament of Singapore who were directly elected as representatives of an opposition party since 1968, having secured victory in a constituency. In Singapore, the People's Action Party (PAP) has governed continuously since 1959, maintaining a supermajority in Parliament. Consequently, the presence of opposition members has remained limited. Although Singapore became independent in 1965, it was not until 1981 that a non-PAP MP was returned to the legislature.
The list excludes Non-constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs). Group representation constituencies (GRCs) were introduced at the 1988 Singaporean general election, though it was not until 23 years later that an opposition party achieved victory in one. This milestone occurred in the 2011 Singaporean general election, when the Workers' Party (WP) won Aljunied GRC. The WP has remained the most prominent opposition force in Singaporean politics, with 19 distinct WP politicians having been directly elected to Parliament in post-independence Singapore.
