Penelitian ini membahas kemenangan WP (Workers Party) di Aljunied GRC (Group Representative Constituency) dalam Pemilu Parlemen Singapura 2011. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksplanatif dengan metode kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kemenangan partai oposisi tersebut ditentukan oleh faktor historis dan demografis, pernyataan kontroversial Lee Kuan Yew terhadap para pemilih di Aljunied GRC, dan keefektifan strategi WP yang berhasil mengajukan kandidat populer di distrik tersebut. Selain itu, kemenangan WP ini juga terbantu oleh isu-isu nasional yang menjatuhkan citra PAP (People's Action Party) sebagai partai berkuasa, kemunculan internet sebagai media kampanye, dan kehadiran jumlah pemilih muda dalam jumlah signifikan.
