East Coast GRC in 2015

WP has been contesting at East Coast GRC since 2006.

In the 2015 General Election, WP's team, consisting of Leon Perera, Gerald Giam, Daniel Goh, and Mohamed Fairoz Shariff lost to PAP's team led by Lim Swee Say.

They gained 39 per cent of the total votes in the election, the closest any opposition team came to claiming a GRC outside of Aljunied.
