The seat was held by Democratic Party former chairman Albert Ho until he was unseated by Junius Ho in the 2015 Hong Kong District Council election. The constituency has attracted huge attention from the media during 2019 elections, owing to the accusation of Ho's involvement in 2019 Yuen Long attack and the controversial speech of Ho. Lo Chun-yu from the Democratic Party ran the election in this constituency, but has been threatened, tracked and assaulted by different means before the polling day.[3][4][5]
