Yang Yongjie and other five regional brothers withdrew the previous year to establish West Kowloon New Power, including: Zheng Liming and Ding Jianhua.

As for why he chose to run in this year's election, Yang Yongjie said that after evaluating his strength, he felt that he had sufficient regional support, so he didn't want to "carry a car" for others, and instead went to the battle by himself.
Currently, 4 of the 6 seats in Kowloon West are institutionalists, including: DAB Jiang Liyun, Zheng Yongshun, Jingmin Liang Liangfen and non-party Chen Kaixin.

It is reported that Yang Yongjie had planned to run for the Legislative Council when he withdrew from the new power of West Kowloon nine years ago. Due to the impact of anti-revision legislation last year, the establishment faction lost in the district elections. However, even though the number of seats dropped significantly, the number of votes increased. In the district board elections in November last year, the establishment factions obtained more than 160,000 votes in Kowloon West, which was more than about 110,000 votes each in the two by-elections of the Legislative Council. Yang Yongjie believes that the establishment faction has the ability to win the fourth seat in Jiuxi, but the assessment has increased by the number of voters, and at least 40,000 votes are required to be elected in this term.
Yang Yongjie said that if the establishment faction needs to coordinate Jiuxi's election list, it depends on the fairness of the coordination mechanism. If there is any inequity, he may not participate in the coordination and participate in the election himself. Yang Yongjie also revealed that he will not rule out another alliance or invite heavyweights to rank second in the list and "lift the car" for himself.
In the 2012 election, Yang Yongjie once ranked second in Liang Meifen's list, and has been assisting him since then, until he withdrew from the West Kowloon New Power the year before. Receiving an inquiry, Liang Meifen said that he still cooperates with Yang Yongjie and regards the other party as a comrade in arms and teammates. He welcomes his intention to run. Liang also said that the establishment faction has always hoped to win the most seats in Jiuxi, and the Pakatan Rakyat will definitely send people to run for elections, without worrying that the other party's election will pose a threat to itself.
According to the analysis of institutionalists, among the three current potential candidates, Zheng Yongshun's stakes are mainly Yau Tsim Mong, Liang Meifen's main "site" is in Sham Shui Po, and Chen Kaixin focuses on the Kowloon City area with more middle-class housing estates. The votes of Yang Yongjie and his "brothers" are mainly from Kowloon City, so they have the greatest influence on Chen Kaixin.
Chen Kaixin is regarded as a rising star in the formation, becoming one of three candidates representing the camp to play in Kowloon West. (Profile picture / Photo by Lu Yiming)
