Sparked by the legislation of the Basic Law Article 23, Leong founded the Article 23 Concern Group in 2003 which later developed into the Article 45 Concern Group and the Civic Party. As chairperson of Hong Kong Bar Association, he mobilized many barristers to participate in the July 1 protests. He won a seat in the Legislative Council in the election.

Leong was nominated by the Civic Party as its party candidate for the Chief Executive election in 2007. He was also supported by the pan-democratic group, including the Democratic Party. Leong later secured 132 nominations and became the first pro-democracy candidate to succeed in joining the Chief Executive election. In the end Leong lost to Donald Tsang in the CE election on March 25, 2007, gaining 123 votes from the 800-member Election Committee.
