He is also vice-chairperson of the Independent Police Complaints Council. He was chairman of Hong Kong Bar Association from 2001 to 2003. As chairperson of Hong Kong Bar Association, he mobilised many barristers to participate in the July 1 protests.
In January 2011, Leong was elected the second leader of the Civic Party, replacing Audrey Eu.
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-democrats, including the Democratic Party.
In the end Leong lost to Donald Tsang in the Civil Engineering election on 25 March 2007, gaining 123 votes from the 800-member Election Committee. In January 2010, Leong and other four lawmakers, Albert Chan, Tanya Chan, Leung Kwok-hung and Wong Yuk-man resigned their seats to force by-elections, in which they all stood, which they called on to be treated as a referendum to press the Chinese Central Government into allowing universal suffrage in Hong Kong.
On 16 May 2010, he was re-elected as a lawmaker in the by-election.
