Political career

edit

In 2019, amidst the ongoing social movement against the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill, Civil Force alongside the pro-Beijing camp suffered an unprecedented defeat in the District Council elections. The NPP/Civil Force alliance fielded 28 candidates but did not win any seats. Eddie Lam Yu-Sing was among the unsuccessful candidates. As a result, Civil Force were eradicated from all the district councils for the first time since its establishment.

Yu-Sing and party ally Victor Chan regrouped and entered the 2020 Hong Kong legislative election,[4] hoping to emulate fellow NPP members Eunice Yung and the internet celebrity Dominic Lee.[5]
