The Victoria Social Association (HKVSA) was a local political group based in Central and Western District and Wan Chai District,the former area of the Victoria City founded in April 2016. [1] The association won one seat in Wan Chai in 2019 District Council election.
The association was founded in April 2016 by Chow Sai-kit,who was a former member of the pro-independence Youngspiration. Chow ran in the 2015 District Council election in Kennedy Town &Mount Davis but failed to win a seat. In the 2019 District Council election,four members of the association ran in the election,while only two of them ran under the banner of VSA. Chow himself ran as a substitute candidate for independent Fergus Leung Fong-wai in case Leung was disqualified from running in Kwun Lung. While Fung was elected,Li Wing-choi who represented the association won a seat in Victoria Park,as well as two members who ran as independents,Pang Ka-ho and Ho Chi-wang won in Sai Wan and Water Street respectively.

Beijing mouthpiece Wen Wei Po accused the VSA of being pro-independence,citing chairman Chow Sai-kit former membership of Youngspiration and Li Wing-choi's opposition to the proposed National Anthem Bill. [3] The association refuted by claiming that the news report was fabricated and reserved the right to sue. [1]
