Nathan Law quits as chairman of Demosisto, the Hong Kong localist party he founded with Joshua Wong, after ‘political storms’
Young pro-democracy activist and former lawmaker announces he is stepping aside to ‘think about the road ahead’
A former opposition lawmaker announced on Wednesday that he had quit his post as chairman of Demosisto, the political party he founded two years ago with his ally Joshua Wong Chi-fung to advocate Hong Kong self-determination.
Pro-democracy activist Nathan Law Kwun-chung, 24, said he had stepped down as he wanted a “respite” from years in the “vortex of political storms” as well as “time to rally [his] forces and think about the road ahead”.
At the same time, Demosisto vice-chairwoman Tiffany Yuen Ka-wai said she had quit the party, citing differences with its new direction.
Wong, the poster boy of the Occupy movement, remains the party’s secretary general.
