Albert Chan Wai-yip (陳偉業; born 3 March 1955, Hong Kong) has been a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong representing the New Territories West constituency since 1991, except for the period between 1997 and 2000. Chan is also a member of the Tsuen Wan District Council. Before becoming a legislator, Chan was a social worker.
In 1986, together with Lee Wing Tat, he founded the Hong Kong Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood, and served as Chairman of the party after Lee left in 1990. From 1994-2002 he was a member of the Democratic Party. He is now a leading figure in the League of Social Democrats, which he co-founded in 2006.
He is active in grass roots issues and believes that the government is not genuinely committed to the electoral reform promised in the Hong Kong Basic Law.[1]
