陳祖光

English

Chan Cho-kwong is a retired Hong Kong police officer who sits in the eighth-term Legislative Council for the Election Committee constituency. He served in the police force for thirty-eight years and long represented the interests of junior ranks, serving as chairman of the Junior Police Officers' Association from 2012 to 2018, during which he negotiated with the government and police management on welfare, conditions of service and grade rights; after stepping down he became an adviser to the association. He retired from the force in 2019. Since retiring he has remained engaged in public affairs, writing commentary on social and law-and-order issues and speaking on the treatment of civil servants and disciplined services staff. In the 2019 district council election he stood in the Sheung Shun constituency in Kwun Tong, an area with a concentration of disciplined services quarters, but was not elected. Over the years he has kept close ties with fellow disciplined services staff and is well known in uniformed and civil service circles. In the 2025 Legislative Council election he ran in the Election Committee constituency, won 1,067 votes and took office on 1 January 2026. He has said that, with his change of role, one of his priorities in the council will be to promote medical insurance for people in work, and that he will keep pressing for reasonable benefits and pay for civil servants, hoping to help build a safe, smart and happy Hong Kong.
