Ted Hui Chi-fung (Chinese: 許智峯; born 1982) is a Democratic Party politician in Hong Kong. He is the member of the Central and Western District Council for Chung Wan and Legislative Councillor for Hong Kong Island.
He was born in Hong Kong and was raised in Tuen Mun. He was educated in Canada and studied law in Canada. He joined the local forum on the Basic Law Article 23 legislation in Canada and returned to Hong Kong to join the 2003 July 1 massive protest against the national security legislation. He joined the Democratic Party after graduated from the City University of Hong Kong with a law degree.
In 2011 District Council elections, Hui successfully succeeded veteran Yuen Bun-keung's Central and Western District Council seat in Chung Wan, which covered the Central area. Hui caught media attention for his protests in the council. In 2014, Hui was thrown out of a meeting of the council's working group on civic education on March 6. A meeting on March 27 ended in chaos when he resisted another effort to eject him. In April, he protested the council's decision to grant HK$150,000 to pro-Beijing groups. He staged a sit-in at the district office with party colleague Ng Siu-hong, and was allegedly injured in a scuffle with security guards. He was later acquitted by the court over the charge of assaulting security guards.
Hui was considered to be radical within the Democratic Party. He opposed the party's meetings with the Beijing officials. In 2015 when party's central committee member Wong Sing-chi publicly called on pan-democrats to back Beijing's restrictive reform model for the 2017 Chief Executive election. Hui led the call for the party to investigate whether Wong had violated any of its internal rules, which eventually led to the expel of Wong's party membership.
