The Mountbatten Single Member Constituency is a single-member constituency (SMC) situated in central Singapore. Recreated in 2011 after having been merged in 1997, it is managed by Marine Parade–Braddell Heights Town Council (MPBHTC). The current Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency is Gho Sze Kee from the People's Action Party (PAP).
The constituency had previously existed as Mountbatten Constituency from 1959 to 1988, before being renamed Mountbatten Single Member Constituency from 1988 to 1991. In 1991, it was merged into Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the 1991 general election.
History Mountbatten Constituency was established for the 1959 general election and was renamed Mountbatten SMC in 1988. It was then abolished in 1997. From 1991 to 2011, Mountbatten SMC did not exist.
Prior to the 2011 general election, Mountbatten SMC was reformed from the division of the same name in Marine Parade GRC. Lim Biow Chuan, the incumbent MP for the division, contested the SMC, defeating Jeanette Chong-Aruldoss from the National Solidarity Party (NSP) with 58.62% of the vote.
For the 2015 general election, Chong-Aruldoss switched to the Singapore People's Party (SPP) and recontested the constituency; Lim defeated her in a rematch with an improved 71.86% of the vote.
For the 2020 general election, Lim stood for reelection in Mountbatten SMC; he defeated Peoples Voice (PV) newcomer Sivakumaran Chellappa with an improved 73.82% of the vote despite a national swing against the PAP.
