In 2007, Kam planned to participate in Hong Kong Island by-election, 2007 after the former chairman of DAB, Ma Lik, died of colon cancer. He later withdrew from the election process, denying that it was under pressure from fellow democrats who feared splitting the vote with Anson Chan.[4][5] He won praise for his support for victims of the Lehman minibonds saga in 2008.
In the 2008 Hong Kong legislative election he won the Hong Kong Island geographical constituency seat for the Democratic Party.
In June 2010, he voted with the party in favour of the government’s 2012 constitutional reform package, which included the late amendment by the Democratic Party – accepted by the Beijing government – to hold a popular vote for five new District Council functional constituencies.[6]
Kam is married to Candy.[3]
