Now that the last GE 2015 rallies have ended, Singaporeans will spend their Thursday "cooling off" and thinking about the importance of their choice Polling Day Friday.

For the East Coast GRC voters, there are five implications to consider if East Coast GRC turns blue on Sept. 11.

1. The People's Action Party (PAP) government will lose three office-holders.

East Coast GRC has the most number of office holders.

There is Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say, Senior Minister of State (SMS) for Trade and Industry and National Development Lee Yi Shyan and Southeast District Mayor and Minister of State for National Development Dr Maliki Osman.

During GE 2011, Aljunied GRC also lost three office-holders - Foreign Minister George Yeo, Second Minister for Finance and Second Minister for Transport Lim Hwee Hua, Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zainul Abidin Rasheed.

With the retirement of Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will have two huge gaps to fill in his first cabinet reshuffle after GE2015.

2. Workers' Party (WP) would have secured its position as the pre-eminent opposition party in Singapore

GE2015 is unlikely to be GE1997. Under the leadership of then PM Goh Chok Tong, PAP managed to take back the two seats it lost in GE1991 from the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP).

The growth of the opposition MPs in parliament remained stagnant in the subsequent two elections of 2001 and 2006, where there are only two opposition MPs -- Potong Pasir MP Chiam See Tong and Hougang MP Low Thia Khiang.

It is a tall order for the PAP to take back Aljunied GRC or Hougang SMC.

There is little consolation for PAP if they were to lose East Coast GRC and gain back Punggol East SMC.

3. The other opposition parties will be forced to compete in the PAP strongholds in the North and West of Singapore. 

If WP were to win East Coast GRC and retain the seven seats in Hougang SMC, Aljunied GRC and Punggol East SMC, they would control a significant portion of the eastern part of Singapore.

Many of the opposition parties will be rendered irrelevant, with the exception of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) led by Chee Soon Juan version 2.0.

4. We will see the emergence of the next generation of leaders for WP.

WP chief Low is 59 years old, while his chairwoman Sylvia Lim is 50 years old this year.

There will be a generation of young WP MPs in Gerald Giam (37), Daniel Goh (42), and Leon Perera (44) from East Coast GRC. If Dennis Tan, 44, were to win the Fengshan SMC, these four WP candidates could very well form the WP leadership core for the next decade.

5. The PAP headquarter will be in an opposition ward:

Nuff said.
