[edit] 2004 Legislative Council election

Prior to the Hong Kong Legislative Council election, 2004 (the LegCo election), the pro-Beijing camp estimated that the competition would be fierce. Some of the HKPA LegCo candidates were persuaded to quit the election, in an attempt to enable Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) candidates to stand a higher chances of obtaining LegCo seats. In response to this, David Chu Yu-lin, originally a candidate for the LegCo constituency of the New Territories East, was replaced by Tso. He had a slim chance of obtaining a seat in the election, and unsurprisngly he lost, gaining 14,174 votes.

During his campaigns, Tso gained prominence for his slogans. One of his best-known slogans is 科學求真，智識救港 (literally: To seek the truth with science, and to save Hong Kong with knowledge). Often teased by Hong Kong youth (especially those in internet forums and newsgroups).
