譚耀宗
In the background of the 1980s, amidst shifts in the political economy of Mainland China and negotiations on Hong Kong's political status after 1997, the HKFU readjusted its policy toward the colonial government. The electoral reform introduced by the government also gave trade unions access to political power. In the first Legislative Council election in 1985, representatives from the HKFTU, Tam Yiu-chung, and the TUC ran uncontested and were elected to the two newly created seats in the Labour functional constituency. Tam Yiu-chung continued to serve as the member of the Legislative Council until he was succeeded by Cheng Yiu-tong in 1995.
