Dennis Kwok Wing-hang (Chinese: 郭榮鏗; born 15 April 1978) is a Canadian politician and former foreign member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council from 2012 to 2020 and founding member of Civic Party.
Once the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee, Kwok was accused of delaying the legislature proceedings. He was disqualified from the Legislative Council on 11 November 2020, along with three other lawmakers of the pan-democratic camp, by the Chinese Government on request of the Hong Kong government.[2] A mass resignation of pan-democrats the same day left the Legislative Council without a substantial opposition. Later that month, Kwok announced his resignation from politics and left Hong Kong. In April 2021, it was reported that he had moved to Canada[3] and later settled in the United States.[4]
Kwok was charged with collusion and an arrest warrant with a HK$1 million bounty was issued by the Hong Kong Police in July 2023.[5]
