History
The Tanjong Bunga state constituency was originally named Tanjong Bungah when it was created prior to the 1959 State Election. It was then renamed in time for the 1974 State Election. Tanjong Bungah was one of the first state seats in Penang to be captured by the then fledgling DAP in 1969. Koh Tsu Koon, a Gerakan politician, first won the Tanjong Bunga constituency in 1990 and was subsequently appointed as the Chief Minister of Penang. Koh held the seat until 2008, when he announced his intention to step down from his position as the Chief Minister. During the State Election later that year, the constituency was wrested from the Barisan Nasional (BN) federal ruling coalition by Teh Yee Cheu, then a DAP politician. Teh held Tanjong Bunga until the 2018 State Election, when DAP's Zairil Khir Johari, who was selected to replace the former, won the constituency. Representation history == Election results ==
