It mentioned that if someone participated in the "internal selection" of their party, they might be considered as "candidates" and need to calculate election expenses. For the sake of stability, the DAB even cancelled the party's primary election named "Star of Port Construction."
The new guidelines also unexpectedly disrupted the DAB's election deployment. It is reported that the DAB has instead decided to choose candidates through negotiations. Among them, New Zealand West Councillor Liang Zhixiang intends to retreat from the fire and hand over his baton to party member Zhou Haoding. "Super District Council" admission ticket, but is still expected to represent the DAB in the election of New West, and strive to continue parliamentary life.
Another DAB MP who lost in the district election, Liu Guoxun, has signed up for the New East Primary Election, but it is reported that there is consensus in the party that the current Chen Keqin and Ge Yifan will be armored. Liu Guoxun may change from "double material" within one year "Double Loss."

The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) established a primary election mechanism in January of this year. Leaders and regional branches will vote for attendance, attendance, and other methods, and "general election" party members will represent the DAB in direct elections and seats in the super district. Voting was originally scheduled to be held in early April, but in response to the new recommendations introduced by the EAC, the DAB abruptly canceled the primary election, and was generated by internal coordination and then passed by the Central Committee.
Among them, in the Western New Territories primary election, four people themselves signed up for the contest. In addition to the current members Liang Zhixiang and Chen Hengzheng, they also included Zhou Haoding and Ye Wenbin who lost in the district election last year. It is reported that Liang Zhixiang, a 62-year-old parliamentarian and now 62 years old, intends to give up and give way to young party member Zhou Haoding, mainly because of the growing age and the polarization of the election. People playing on behalf of the DAB will not be too big.
Some people in the area pointed out that Liang Zhixiang's election depends on his heart. Because Liang has been entangled in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun for a long time, and is familiar with the complicated regional forces, it is not easy for newcomers to airborne, and Zhou Haoding privately promised not to "continue to qualify If Liang Zhixiang wants to be re-elected, he is willing to rank second in the list.
In fact, when the application for the DAB's primaries was closed in mid-February this year, Liang Zhixiang had already planned to retreat from the fire line, so he did not apply. However, due to the local people's efforts to retain him, Liang Zhixiang rushed to register at the last minute. It is reported that Liang Zhixiang recently met with regional branches and different people to find out whether they are willing to support Zhou Haoding.

As for the East New Territories constituency, the former North District "voting king", Liu Guoxun, elected Waterloo in the district and was no longer able to run in the Legislative Council of the District Council (First) Sector. Only "turning the runway" for direct election in the New East. However, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) already has two "iron gallbladders" Chen Keqin and Ge Yifan in Xindong. If an internal party primary election is held, it may still be possible to try challenges. Members will continue to be elected, "Help win or lose, Liu Guoxun has no direct election experience. Ke Qin and EQ (Ge Yifan) are still young and will not retire for the time being."
However, Liu Guoxun also seems to have his "life plan". According to the register of personal interests of members of the Legislative Council, he served as a management consultant for the Mainland Industrial Park last December to find a way out of politics.
