Yiu Ming is a Hong Kong politician, a member of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, and represents the New Territories North geographical constituency in the eighth-term Legislative Council. His ancestral home is Meizhou in Guangdong, he was born in Hong Kong, and he holds the Medal of Honour. As early as 2007, at the age of twenty-one, he first stood in a district council election, the youngest candidate at the time, but was not elected. He won a seat in the 2011 district council election and served on the North District Council from 2012, winning re-election in 2015 and losing when he sought another term in 2019. He continued to serve the community, and in the 2023 district council election he won the Butterfly Hill constituency in North District with 20,053 votes, far ahead of the 3,820 votes of the other successful candidate there, a share of more than sixty per cent, making him the highest vote-getter among all geographical constituencies that year, a result that reflected support for his grassroots work. Over the years he has served mainly in the Wah Do and Butterfly Hill areas of North District, including a term as the Wah Do constituency councillor. In the 2025 Legislative Council election he won the New Territories North seat with 33,389 votes and took office on 1 January 2026. Since then he has acted as the DAB's spokesman on development affairs, focusing on the Northern Metropolis and on transport infrastructure in North District, including the proposed north-south link at So Kwun Po and the long-standing congestion at the Kai Leng roundabout, and hopes the authorities will speed up the works while managing traffic arrangements during construction so as not to worsen existing jams.
