The group was formed in 2015 as a Tsuen Wan -based community group. Its leader Lam Sek-tim ran in the 2015 District Council election against Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) legislator Chan Han-pan in Yeung Uk Road but lost. It was part of the Community Network Union , a localist political alliance of six community groups led by pro-independence Ventus Lau .[ 1] The Tsuen Wan Community Network later quit the Union in 2018.
Lam Sek-tim ran in Yeung Uk Road in the 2019 District Council election again and defeated Chan Han-pan's successor Ng Chun-yu with narrow margin of 174 votes in the pro-democracy historic landslide victory.
