In January 2026, Hong Kong media reported that delivery invoices for supplies distributed at the Ko Shan Road community “living room” listed suppliers linked to companies associated with individuals connected to Kitson Yang, who serves as chairman of the Community Care Association and a director of related local organisations. The reports highlighted potential conflicts of interest and noted that Yang did not respond to requests for comment. ## Electoral history 2021 legislative election: Kowloon Central Party Candidate Votes % ±% DAB Starry Lee Wai-king 95,976 68.70 N/A Independent Yang Wing-kit 35,702 25.56 N/A Independent Tam Heung-man 8,028 5.75 N/A 2019 local elections at the Kowloon City District Council: Lok Man Party Candidate Votes % ±% Independent Yang Wing-kit 3,312 55.14 −4.53 Democratic Coalition Vincent Lam 2,694 44.86 N/A Majority 618 10.28 Turnout 8,427 68.71 +21.23 Independent hold Swing 2015 local elections at the Kowloon City District Council: Lok Man Party Candidate Votes % ±% Independent Yang Wing-kit 2,310 59.67 N/A Independent Pong Yat-ming 1,561 40.33 N/A Majority 749 19.35 Turnout 5,103 47.48 −0.71 Independent hold Swing 2011 local elections at the Kowloon City District Council: Lok Man Party Candidate Votes % ±% Independent Yang Wing-kit Uncontested N/A Independent hold Swing 2007 local elections at the Kowloon City District Council: Lok Man Party Candidate Votes % ±% Independent Yang Wing-kit 2,135 55.35 N/A Democratic Coalition Au Ka-shing 1,799 42.58 −4.51 Majority 413 10.71 Independent gain from Democratic Coalition Swing ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Pro-establishment candidates claim all 20 seats in geographic constituencies"](https://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news/section/4/184774/Pro-establishment-candidates-claim-all-20-seats-in-geographic-constituencies). *[The Standard](/source/The_Standard_(Hong_Kong))*. 20 December 2021.
