2012年舉行的新加坡國會議員後港單選區補選,導因於原任之新加坡工人黨籍議員饒欣龍於當年2月15日遭開除黨籍,國會議長柏默依據《新加坡共和國憲法》,於2月22日宣布後港議席懸空,從開除黨籍當天起生效。該選區隨即在5月26日進行補選,由當地選民選出替補的國會議員。
這是新加坡在21世紀舉行的第一次國會議員補選,提名日為5月16日,投票日5月26日。本次補選共有2萬3368位合格選民,工人黨籍方榮發以62.08%的得票率,為該黨保住後港單選區議席。
原議員開除黨籍
[編輯]新加坡工人黨開除後港單選區議員饒欣龍的黨員身份,引發本次補選。這次事件也使饒欣龍喪失工人黨財政相關職務。[2][3]依據《新加坡共和國憲法》第46(2)(b)條文規定,一名國會議員在競選期間所代表的政黨,若該名議員遭該政黨開除黨籍,則該名議員的國會議席依法懸空。[4][5]新加坡在1993年發生過議員開除黨籍事件,詹時中遭新加坡民主黨開除,[4]然而新加坡高等法庭於同年12月下令恢復詹時中黨籍和議員身份。[6][7]
