On July 1, 2010, the maximum number of Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs) increased from six to nine.
Following a general election, the actual number of NCMPs that would be declared elected would be nine less the number of opposition MPs elected into Parliament.
If Workers’ Party (WP) were to retain the seats in Aljunied GRC (five seats) and Hougang SMC (one seat), the three best losers are likely to be Lee Li-Lian (Punggol East SMC), Gerald Giam (leader of the East Coast GRC), and Dennis Tan (Fengshan SMC).
Tan lost to first-time People's Action Party (PAP) candidate Cheryl Chan with a vote share of 42.48%.
