Leung split apart from the Liberal Party in October 2008 with Jeffrey Lam Kin-fung and Sophie Leung Lau Yau-fun after the defeat of the party in the 2008 Legislative Council election in September and the resignation of chairman James Tien Pei-chun.

2014

On the debate over the 2014–15 Hong Kong electoral reform for the universal suffrage of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Leung opposed to the Occupy Central with Love and Peace campaign by the pan-democracy camp, appealed to the "silent majority" to oppose "Occupy protest".

Leung said the campaign would threaten the rule of law and social stability, while hurting Hong Kong's business environment.

2016

After the 2016 Hong Kong Legislative Election, Leung was handpicked by the pro-Beijing camp to be their candidate for the President of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong left over by the retiring Jasper Tsang, after potential candidates New People's Party's Michael Tien and nonpartisan Paul Tse withdrew their nominations, implicitly citing the influence of the Liaison Office.

Leung was questioned by the opposition over his British nationality which he renounced right before the vote and his close business ties with 11 companies in which he held shares and was the directors of seven of them.

On the first meeting of the Legislative Council, Leung was elected as president in the middle of chaos as the pan-democrats and localists tore up their ballot papers and stormed out of the meeting room before the vote.

As a result, Leung received 38 votes against pro-democrat nominee James To's zero with three blank ballots.

On 27 October, Leung was slammed and asked to step down after he took a U-turn by deciding to delay the oath-taking of Sixtus Leung and Yau Wai-ching of Youngspiration whose qualifications were under legal challenge by the government for their pro-independence on general meeting on 27 October 2016.

Leung and Yau inserted their own words into the oath-taking on the first session of the Legislative Council and therefore were invalidated by the LegCo secretary-general Kenneth Chen.

Andrew Leung initially allowed the two to retake the oaths but backed down after the pro-Beijing camp threatened to stage a second walkout after they walked out in the on 19 October to block the two Youngspiration legislators to take the oaths.

The pan-democracy camp criticised Leung for "unfit to perform his role".

2020

In November 2020, following the expulsion of 4 pro-democracy lawmakers from the Legislative Council, Leung said that he "respects and understands" their disqualification.

In February 2021, after Xia Baolong said that only "patriots" could be part of the Hong Kong government, Leung agreed and said it was the "most basic and reasonable" requirement for those in the government.

Additionally, Leung claimed that "I am sure that all the Hong Kong people will have a say... As long as you are patriotic, you can have any views."

In January 2022, the mainland Chinese national emblem was permanently added to the Legislative Council chamber, after Andrew Leung, Starry Lee Wai-king and Ma Fung-kwok decided that it should be made permanent.

Andrew Leung had earlier said it would be only temporary for the swearing in of lawmakers, but reversed course.

In December 2022, after only "patriots" were allowed to administer Hong Kong, Leung denied that lawmakers were simply rubber stamping legislation, stating "We need to work together to make sure the legislative process is smooth. Smooth doesn't mean rubber stamp."

In January 2023, Leung criticized a decision by the UK to not allow Legislative Council members to attend the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association UK’s seminar, saying that the event had "blatant political bias."

His wife, Susana Cheong Suk-hing, is the sister of former member of the Legislative Council Stephen Cheong.

In August 2022, Leung and his son, Clarence Leung Wang-ching, the Under Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, were deemed close contacts after a family member tested positive for COVID-19.

However on December, Leung was tested positive for COVID-19.
