Political career

Legislative Council

He was a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong for the Labour constituency between 2012 and 2016. He participated in the 2008 LegCo election with Wong Kwok-hing, representing the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, the largest pro-Beijing labour union in the territory. In the 2012 LegCo election he gained a seat in the Labour constituency uncontested.

In the 2016 LegCo election, Tang ran in the New Territories East geographic constituency but was not elected.[1]

Tang ran again in New Territories East during the 2018 by-elections, but was again not elected.[2] It was reported that he spent approximately HK$2.24 million on this campaign, mostly on advertising and meals.[3]

Tang is running in Kowloon East in the upcoming LegCo election, which has been postponed from 2020 to 2021.

District Councils

He was also a district councillor for the Islands District Council, representing Yat Tung Estate North. He was first elected in the 2007 election, and was re-elected in 2011 and 2015.[4][5][6] In the 2019 District Council election he ran for a seat on Sha Tin District Council in the newly created Shui Chuen O constituency, but lost to pro-democracy candidate Lo Tak-ming of Community Sha Tin.[7]
