Regine Yau Wai-ching (Chinese: 游蕙禎; born 6 May 1991) is a former Hong Kong politician and former member of the localist camp Youngspiration. She was elected to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong as a member for Kowloon West in the 2016 Legislative Council election, but has since been disqualified pursuant to a judgment delivered by the High Court on 15 November 2016.[2] As the youngest female parliament member in the Hong Kong history being elected on the age of 25,[3] she is acclaimed to be a "daughter of Hong Kong" by the Chinese historian and political commentator Zhongjing Liu for her pro-democracy statesmanship and the advocacy for the self-determination of the Hong Kong national identity.[4][5][6]
