[edit]In the 2006 general election, Hamim contested Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC as part of a 6 member SDA team. The team lost to the PAP, receiving 31.30% against the PAP's 68.70%.[1]
In the 2011 general election, Hamim joined the SPP's star team in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC led by Chiam See Tong. However, the team was defeated by the PAP team led by Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng. The SPP team received 43.07% of the vote against the PAP's 56.93%.[2] After the election, Hamim left the SPP and joined the Democratic Progressive Party as the party's chairman.[3][4]
In the 2015 general election, Hamim left the DPP to join a SPP team to contest Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC once again. The SPP team was defeated by the PAP 26.41% to 73.59%, and Hamim left the SPP to rejoin the DPP.[5]
On 19 February 2019, DPP secretary-general Benjamin Pwee left the party to join the SDP for the 2020 general election, and Hamim became secretary-general of the DPP.[6] Hamim and the DPP did not contest in the 2020 election, citing an interest in avoiding three cornered fights.[7]
In 2023, Hamim led DPP to join the People's Alliance for Reform and was the only DPP candidate in the 2025 general election.[8][9]
