2016–2017 legislators staged a walkout on 19 October to force
adjournment in order to block the Youngspiration legislators to retake the oaths. • 12 October 2016: In the first meeting of the session, all members took their oaths while three members,
Youngspiration's
Baggio Leung and
Yau Wai-ching and
pan-democrat Edward Yiu who inserted their own words into the official script had their oaths rejected by the Legislative Council Secretariat, but 11 others - four localist and seven pan-democratic - added their own wording either before or after taking the oath and face no repercussions. Leung and Yau were criticised for pronouncing China as "
Chee-na", the derogatory pronunciation used during the
Second Sino-Japanese War and mispronouncing "People's Republic of China" as "people's re-fucking of Chee-na". After the oaths, the second most senior member
Leung Yiu-chung of the
Neighbourhood and Worker's Service Centre chaired the election of the
President of the Legislative Council. To protest the Legislative Council secretariat's decision to disallow the three members to enter the chamber, Leung gave up the role amid calls from his colleagues to postpone the election due to the dispute over the British nationality of the pro-Beijing nominee
Andrew Leung of the
Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong (BPA). Instead,
Abraham Shek of the BPA who replaced Leung Yiu-chung pushed the election ahead. The pan-democrats and localists tore up their ballot papers and exited the meeting room before the vote. As a result, Andrew Leung received 38 votes against pro-democrat nominee
James To's zero with three blank ballots. • 19 October 2016: In the second meeting of the session when five members retook their oaths, the
pro-Beijing camp staged a walkout to force the meeting to be adjourned for the first time in the session to protest the two Youngspiration legislators refusal to apologise for their "insulting" oaths last week before Yau and Leung, as well as
Lau Siu-lai were to retake their oaths. • 26 October 2016: In the third general meeting, Legislative Council President Andrew Leung adjourned the meeting after the three members, two Youngspiration legislators he disallowed from joining the meeting as he decided to delay their oath-retaking but were escorted by the pan-democracy legislators into the chamber, and
Civic Passion's
Cheng Chung-tai who shouted at Leung for his decision, refused to leave the chamber.
2018–2019 • 6 May 2019: After a House Committee meeting with a pro-Beijing majority, voted to issue a set of guidelines to replace the most senior member
James To of the
Democratic Party with the third senior member
Abraham Shek of the
Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong to preside the Bills Committee of the controversial
Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 after To was accused of filibustering. To claimed that the move was illegitimate, adding that the secretariat had abused its power in issuing the circular without having any formal discussion. The pro-democracy legislators insisted to go ahead with the 6 May meeting as planned, which was eventually rescheduled by Shek with only 20 members present. • 11 May 2019: A clash broke out as the pro-democracy and pro-Beijing camps called separate meetings of the Bills Committee of the controversial Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 at the same room. A number of legislators fell to the ground as they pushed and shoved each other along the packed hallway.
Gary Fan fell to the ground after standing on a table, and appearing to have fainted before he was sent to hospital. • 12 June 2019:
12 June protest against the extradition bill outside the
Legislative Council Complex. 40,000 protesters gathered outside the Government Headquarters attempted and successfully stalled the second reading of the bill, though the Police deployed numerous canisters of tear gas, rubber bullets and bean bag rounds to disperse the protesters. The government and the police characterised the protest as a "riot", marking it the most serious and intense conflict between the police and the protesters during the early stage of the
2019–20 Hong Kong protests. • 1 July 2019:
Storming of the Legislative Council Complex where hundreds of protesters broke through the glass walls and metal doors and entered the building, ransacked and vandalised the interior with anti-government slogans. It is considered a watershed event in the 2019–20 protests.
2019–2020 • 18 May 2020: After a months-long filibustering by the pro-democrats on the election of the House Committee chair, President
Andrew Leung invoked Article 92 of the Rule of Procedures to scrap the duties of
Dennis Kwok, the former vice chair of the House Committee who had been presiding the meetings and replaced
Chan Kin-por, chair of the Finance Committee who successfully presided the election after the pro-democrat legislators being expelled amid the clashes broke out between the pro-democrats and the security. • 31 July 2020: Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced the postponement of 2020 general election for a whole year. • 11 August 2020: NPCSC passed a decision to extend the incumbent 6th Legislative Council to extend its term for no less than one year, all members of Legco can stay but two decided to resign in protest to the extension.
2020–2021 • 11 November 2020: NPCSC passed a decision which led to the disqualification of four sitting legislators by Hong Kong Government, 15 remaining pro-democracy legislators
announced their resignation on the same day, with the effective dates ranging from 11 November to 1 December. The Legco has now no effective opposition. ==Major legislation==
