At the elections, Chiam announced that he led his team to contest the Bishan-Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency, leaving his Potong Pasir ward to his wife, Lina Loh Woon Lee (or formerly known as Lina Chiam). This was Loh's debut in politics, although she had tirelessly campaigned with her husband over the years in many general elections in Singapore, including Cairnhill and Potong Pasir constituencies. Chairman Sin was also fielded to contest the newly-formed Hong Kah North SMC, a ward which was formerly part of the Hong Kah GRC (now Chua Chu Kang GRC).
