The Hong Kong National Party was a localist political party from 2016 to 2018 in Hong Kong. It was the first political party in Hong Kong to advocate for Hong Kong independence.[note 1] The Hong Kong National Party is also the first political party to be outlawed since Hong Kong's 1997 handover to China.[1]
In the 2016 Hong Kong legislative election, the HKNP's convenor Chan Ho-tin was barred from standing due to his pro-independence stance for Hong Kong. Chan was among the first individual barred from participating in the election along with five other pro-independence activists. The Hong Kong SAR government states that Hong Kong independence contravenes the principle of "one country, two systems" and Article 1 and 12 of the Basic Law, which stipulates that Hong Kong is an SAR of the People's Republic of China.
On 24 September 2018, the Hong Kong SAR government officially declared the HKNP to be an illegal society and banned the operation of HKNP on national security grounds under the Societies Ordinance.[2]
