Edward Leung Tin-kei is no ordinary post-90s activist. He and his localism group, Hong Kong Indigenous, have been at the forefront of protests since the group was founded after the Occupy Central movement. He lost the New Territories East by-election early Monday morning but had a credible showing with 15pc of vote. Pro-democracy candidate Alvin Yeung won the battle. (Photo: SCMP's Edward Wong)
