People Power (Chinese: 人民力量; abbrev: PP) is a radical democratic political coalition in Hong Kong established in 2011. Chaired by Ray Chan, it currently holds one seat in the Legislative Council.
People Power was founded in 2011 as a political coalition consisting of the defected League of Social Democrats (LSD) legislators Wong Yuk-man and Albert Chan and activists from the Power Voters, Democratic Alliance and The Frontier who aimed to "punish" the Democratic Party for its compromise with the Beijing authorities over the constitutional reform proposal in 2010. People Power fielded 62 candidates in the 2011 District Council election in which many of them stood against the Democrats but only got one candidate elected.
The party received about ten percent of the popular votes and won three seats in the 2012 Legislative Council election. After Wong Yuk-man quit the party in 2013, People Power developed a warmer relationship with the mainstream pan-democrats. Also, People Power re-cooperate with the LSD after 2013. In the 2016 election, the party formed an electoral alliance with the LSD, in which they received about seven percent of the votes together and the party retained one seat, occupied by Ray Chan in New Territories East.
