Chan in 2018

**Judy Chan Kapui** ([Chinese](/source/Chinese_language): 陳家珮; born 4 April 1980) is a Hong Kong politician who is a current member of the [Legislative Council of Hong Kong](/source/Legislative_Council_of_Hong_Kong) elected through the [Elections Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elections_Committee_(Hong_Kong)&action=edit&redlink=1) and re-elected through Hong Kong Island West in 2025. She is a member of the [New People's Party](/source/New_People's_Party_(Hong_Kong)) and was a former member of [Southern District Council](/source/Southern_District_Council) for [South Horizons West](/source/South_Horizons_West_(constituency)), until 2019.[1]

## Biography

The daughter of an antique store owner, Chan lived on [the Peak](/source/The_Peak%2C_Hong_Kong), one of Hong Kong's most affluent locations, and graduated from [Monash University](/source/Monash_University). She says that she worked in the United States for seven years before relocating to Hong Kong. She was a founding member of the [New People's Party](/source/New_People's_Party_(Hong_Kong)) (NPP) and became known when she won the 2014 Southern District Council by-election in [South Horizons West](/source/South_Horizons_West_(constituency)), defeating two pro-democracy heavyweights, the [Democratic Party](/source/Democratic_Party_(Hong_Kong))'s former Legislative Councillor [Sin Chung-kai](/source/Sin_Chung-kai) and [People Power](/source/People_Power_(Hong_Kong)) chairwoman [Erica Yuen](/source/Erica_Yuen).[2]

She then became seen as a future successor to NPP chairwoman [Regina Ip](/source/Regina_Ip).[2] She stood unsuccessfully in the [2016 Legislative Council election](/source/2016_Hong_Kong_legislative_election) in [Hong Kong Island](/source/Hong_Kong_Island_(constituency)) on a ticket, behind Ip, that received more than 60,000 votes, the highest in the poll.[2] She had relinquished her United States citizenship to stand in the election.

In the [2018 Hong Kong Island by-election](/source/2018_Hong_Kong_Island_by-election) triggered by the [oath-taking controversy](/source/Hong_Kong_Legislative_Council_oath-taking_controversy) which resulted in the disqualification of [Demosisto](/source/Demosisto)'s [Nathan Law](/source/Nathan_Law), Chan became the pro-Beijing representative to run against [Au Nok-hin](/source/Au_Nok-hin).[2] Despite earning more than 120,000 votes, she lost to Au with a narrow margin of 3.5 per cent.[3]

On 5 January 2022, [Carrie Lam](/source/Carrie_Lam) announced new warnings and restrictions against social gathering due to potential [COVID-19](/source/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Hong_Kong) outbreaks.[4] One day later, it was discovered that Chan attended a birthday [party hosted by Witman Hung Wai-man](/source/Witman_Hung_partygate), with 222 guests.[5][6][7] At least one guest tested positive with COVID-19, causing all guests to be quarantined.[7] Chan was warned by Legislative Council president [Andrew Leung](/source/Andrew_Leung) to not attend any meetings until after finishing her last mandatory Covid-19 test on 22 January 2022.[8] However, she decided to attend the meeting on 19 January 2022, against Leung's orders.[8] About the party, Chan said "It was held shortly after an intense Legislative Council election, and the same day as our oath-taking ceremony, so we just went there to chill and celebrate".[9]

In September 2022, Chan tested positive for COVID-19.[10]

In 2022, one of the first motions passed in the Legislative Council came from Chan, who urged a crackdown on foreign domestic helpers who were "job hopping" or leaving their employers early.[11]

In December 2025, she was re-elected as Legislative Councilor through Hong Kong Island West constituency.

In March 2026, Chan was fined HK$2,000 and disqualified from driving for one month for driving along a road in the wrong direction, after a video of the incident went viral two months earlier. She penitently said that she would not drive 'for the time being'.[12][13]
