History

The group was formed in January 2015 by a group of HKGolden netizens attempting to prevent the pro-Beijing camp from running uncontested in the 2015 District Council election after the Umbrella Revolution. Members Mak Tsz-ho and Tam Chun-man ran in Ching Oi and Tsz Wan East against Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) incumbents anti-Occupy lawyer Maggie Chan Man-ki and Ho Hon-man respectively but both failed to win a seat.[1]

In 2016, the group formed an electoral alliance under the name "ALLinHK with five other localist groups: Youngspiration, Kowloon East Community, Tin Shui Wai New Force, Cheung Sha Wan Community Establishment Power, and Tuen Mun Community. It planned to field candidates in four of the five geographical constituencies with the agenda to put forward a referendum on Hong Kong's self-determination.[2] Two Youngsipration candidates of the ALLinHK alliance Baggio Leung and Yau Wai-ching were elected, but were soon disqualified over the Hong Kong Legislative Council oath-taking controversy in October 2016.

The group made a second attempt in the 2019 District Council election amid the large scale anti-extradition protests, with Cheung Ka-yi and Sham Yu-hin contested in Fung Tak and Ching Oi. In the historic pro-democracy landslide, both candidates were successfully elected by defeating the DAB opponents.
