History
Creation and first existence (1980–1991)
Kebun Baru Constituency was carved from Ang Mo Kio Constituency prior to the 1980 general election. It was represented by Lim Boon Heng from the PAP throughout its first continuous period (11 years) of existence.
At the 1988 general election, following the introduction of group representation constituencies (GRCs), the constituency was renamed Kebun Baru Single Member Constituency, in line with the new designation for constituencies with one MP.
Kebun Baru SMC was abolished and merged into the newly established Ang Mo Kio GRC prior to the 1991 general election.
Second existence (since 2020)
Kebun Baru SMC was reformed prior to the 2020 general election. It was carved out of Nee Soon GRC, which it had belonged to as a division since 2015. Henry Kwek, the incumbent MP for the division, defeated Kumaran Pillai from the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) in the SMC with 62.92% of the vote.
In the 2025 general election, Kwek stood for reelection in Kebun Baru SMC. He defeated PSP candidate Tony Tan with an improved 68.5% of the vote.
