Lau Mei-lo is an appointed member of the Kwai Tsing District Council in Hong Kong for the seventh term (2024–2027). She reports her occupation as a district councillor and her political affiliation as the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (FTU), of which she is a member in the Kwai Chung area. She has served the Kwai Shing West Estate area for many years: she was first elected to the council in the 2011 District Council election, winning the Kwai Shing West Estate constituency with 3,239 votes, and was re-elected in 2015. In the 2019 District Council election she sought a third term but was defeated, receiving 3,273 votes against 4,365 for Leung Ching-shan of the Neighbourhood and Worker's Service Centre. In the seventh-term council she serves on the District Facilities and Works Committee, the Food, Environment and Hygiene Committee, the Community Participation and Culture and Recreation Committee and the Traffic and Transport Committee, advising on district facilities, environmental hygiene, community culture and transport; her office is at Kwai Shing West Estate in Kwai Chung. After the 2023 reform of the District Council system the seventh-term councils are formed through appointment, the District Committees constituency and geographical constituencies; Lau was appointed by the Chief Executive and took office on 1 January 2024. The Kwai Tsing District Council has 32 members — six from geographical constituencies, 12 from the District Committees constituency, 13 appointed and one ex officio — and is chaired by the District Officer. Beyond these public records, little is known about her education and how she began her trade union work.
