Who is Albert Chan?
The Honourable Albert Chan Wai-yip is a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong representing the New Territories West constituency. He has served as a legislator since 1991 except for the periods 1997-2000 and Jan-May 2011. Chan, formerly a social worker, was also a member of the Tsuen Wan District Council.
In 1986, together with Lee Wing-tat, he founded the Hong Kong Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood. From 1994-2002 he was a member of the Democratic Party. In 2006 he co-founded the League of Social Democrats but resigned in 2011 over differences with the then leadership to form People Power with fellow legislator Wong Yuk-man.
He is active in grass roots issues and believes that the government is not genuinely committed to the electoral reform promised in the Hong Kong Basic Law.
