==Background== In 1998, Leung began serving as vice chairman of [[Yuen Long District Council]], and was elected as chairman in 2008. In 2011, he joined the [[Election Committee]] for Regional District Council. Leung was elected as a member of the [[Legislative Council of Hong Kong]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.webb-database.com/dbpub/positions.asp?p=27375&hide=N|title=Leung, Che Cheung|date=7 May 2026|publisher=[[Webb-database.com]]|access-date=15 October 2012}}</ref>
In a town hall meeting on 11 August 2013 in [[Tin Shui Wai]] where [[Chief Executive of Hong Kong|Chief Executive]] [[Leung Chun-ying]] attended, some thugs-like Leung's supporters allegedly provoked and beat up protesters. Leung Che-cheung who hosted the Town Hall meeting invited a group of triad-related individuals to a dinner party and called in supporters to support Leung prior to the meeting. Tang Sui-man, also known as "Four Eyes Man", representative of the villagers from Wang Toi Shan Ho Lik Pui Tsuen, Tsang Shu-wo, also known as "Tall Man Wo", chairman of Ping Shan Heung Rural Committee and a number of powerful triad related individuals were called into action.<ref>{{cite news|title=CY LEUNG TOWN HALL MEETING: LEUNG'S SUPPORTERS ARE TRIADS|url=https://therealnewshk.wordpress.com/2013/08/13/cy-leung-town-hall-meeting-leungs-supporters-are-triads/|work=RealNewsHK|date=13 August 2013}}</ref>
In October 2019, Leung was criticised for his questionable qualification as a member of the Legislative Council after questioning when the council would discuss the controversial anti-mask law that was already passed over 10 days earlier.<ref name="ridiculed">{{cite news |last1=Cheng |first1=Kris |title=Anti-mask law debated at Hong Kong legislature, as pro-Beijing lawmaker ridiculed over dates mix-up |url=https://hongkongfp.com/2019/10/22/anti-mask-law-debated-hong-kong-legislature-pro-beijing-lawmaker-ridiculed-dates-mix/ |date=22 October 2019|work=Hong Kong Free Press}}</ref>
In January 2021, after a HK$280 million funding request was passed without any officials present to answer his questions, Leung was informed that he had missed a deadline to request the secretariat to have officials present, despite being a lawmaker for 8 years.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Officials secure HK$280 million in funding due to pro-Beijing lawmakers' bungling ｜ Apple Daily|url=https://hk.appledaily.com/news/20210111/R6H4BXEO6RHW3DVK5DPSPZZXOQ/|access-date=2021-01-11|website=Apple Daily 蘋果日報|language=zh-hk|archive-date=2021-01-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111023409/https://hk.appledaily.com/news/20210111/R6H4BXEO6RHW3DVK5DPSPZZXOQ/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
