Eddie Lam Yu-sing (Chinese: 林宇星; born 6 March 1992 in Hong Kong) is the former deputy executive of Civil Force political party in Hong Kong, and is the current spokesperson and Vice-Chairperson of the New Territories Youth Federation. He previously worked in the China News Service.[1] He was awarded the Secretary of Home Affairs Youth Recognition Scheme in October 2016.[2] He is also a member of the New People's Party as a Pro-Beijing camp politician. In the 2019 Hong Kong local elections, he participated in the Sha Tin District Council Chui Ka election but suffered a severe loss to a Pro-democracy camp opponent.[3]

Political career

[edit]

In 2019, amidst the ongoing social movement against the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill, Civil Force alongside the pro-Beijing camp suffered an unprecedented defeat in the District Council elections. The NPP/Civil Force alliance fielded 28 candidates but did not win any seats. Eddie Lam Yu-Sing was among the unsuccessful candidates. As a result, Civil Force were eradicated from all the district councils for the first time since its establishment.

Yu-Sing and party ally Victor Chan regrouped and entered the 2020 Hong Kong legislative election,[4] hoping to emulate fellow NPP members Eunice Yung and the internet celebrity Dominic Lee.[5]
