**Chris Ip Ngo-tung** [BBS](/source/Bronze_Bauhinia_Star) [JP](/source/Justice_of_the_Peace#Hong_Kong) ([Chinese](/source/Traditional_Chinese_characters): 葉傲冬, born 1980) is a [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong) politician from the [pro-Beijing camp](/source/Pro-Beijing_camp_(Hong_Kong)). He is a current member of the [Legislative Council](/source/Legislative_Council_of_Hong_Kong) from 2026, having served as a district councillor of [Yau Tsim Mong District](/source/Yau_Tsim_Mong_District) for over a decade.

## Career

Ip's father is the former [Urban Council](/source/Urban_Council) member Ip Kwok-chung, whose twin brother is the pro-Beijing heavyweight [Ip Kwok-him](/source/Ip_Kwok-him). Ip Kwok-chung was the [Yau Tsim Mong District Council](/source/Yau_Tsim_Mong_District_Council) member, representing Ferry Point (later renamed [Jordan West](/source/Jordan_West_(constituency))), from 1985 and until 2003. Five years later, Chris Ip was elected in a [by-election](/source/List_of_Hong_Kong_by-elections#3rd_District_Councils_(2008–2011)) to serve as the district councillor for the neighbouring [Jordan East](/source/Jordan_South_(constituency)) constituency.[1] He was re-elected in the subsequent poll and in 2016 elected to become the chairman of Yau Tsim Mong District Council.[2] However, he lost his seat in [2019](/source/2019_Hong_Kong_local_elections), during the [massive protest](/source/2019%E2%80%932020_Hong_Kong_protests), to pro-democracy newcomer Chan Tsz-wai who previously had no experience in politics, making it one of the most famous defeats in the election.[3]

After the election, Ip, who was an [assignment editor](/source/Assignment_editor) at *[Wen Wei Po](/source/Wen_Wei_Po)*, returned to the mouthpiece of Beijing authorities as the assistant chief editor in 2020.[4] He was appointed to the [Area Committee](/source/Area_committees_of_Hong_Kong) along with many defeated councillors later that year.[5] There were rumours that Ip could become the Under [Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs](/source/Secretary_for_Constitutional_and_Mainland_Affairs) in 2021 amidst the [cabinet reshuffle](/source/2021_Hong_Kong_cabinet_reshuffle),[6] but eventually did not come true.[7] He also left Wen Wei Po afterwards and became company director. With the imposition of the national security-driven [electoral revamp](/source/2023_Hong_Kong_electoral_changes), Ip returned to the district council after the [2023 election](/source/2023_Hong_Kong_local_elections). Ip also became the secretary-general of the [Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong](/source/Democratic_Alliance_for_the_Betterment_and_Progress_of_Hong_Kong) in 2023.

Ip was elevated further in [2025](/source/2025_Hong_Kong_legislative_election) with his victory in the Legislative Council election at [New Territories South East](/source/New_Territories_South_East_(2021_constituency)) constituency, succeeding [Stanley Li](/source/Stanley_Li).[8][9]
