Last updated: 2019-11-24 20:04The District Councils elections held today (24th) are in full swing. In the Kowloon City District Council's To Kwa Wan North Constituency, the four-year-old "冧庄", the Chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, Li Huiqiong, who has been a member of the district for 20 years, is now in the session. To the community and the former Legislative Council member "Long Hair" Liang Guoxiong airborne challenge, as of 5:30 pm, the turnout rate doubled to 51.48% last year.
Li Huiqiong was scheduled to meet with reporters at 5 pm to respond to questions about the election. However, Liang Guoxiong, a competitor of the same region, was interviewed and surrounded by sniper, saying that she was the "originator of the rulings of the amendments." The people on the scene continued to slogan "Li Huiqiong apologizes" and "DAB pleads guilty". Due to the chaotic environment, Li Huiqiong only answered a few questions and then smashed the press conference. However, her car was blocked by Liang Guoxiong and others and failed to leave. The two sides dispersed after about 10 minutes, and then 10 police cars drove to the scene and then left.

Li Huiqiong is in a hurry : the high voter turnout has never been seen before.
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of the People's Republic of China (Liu Jianqiu), who was elected to the North District of the To Kwa Wan, in the Kowloon City District, met with reporters today (24th) to explain the elections today. However, he was interviewed by Liang Guoxiong, the opponent of the same district.
Li Huiqiong said in his speech that he hopes voters will vote actively and believes that this election is very important for Hong Kong to return to peace and stability. She also pointed out that different members of the public are very keen to express their views through voting. The high turnout rate in this election is unprecedented. But she said that she understands that society has different voices, and it is difficult to predict what kind of faction the votes will be. She also pointed out that the recent social incidents made them "very difficult", so they started to worry very early.
Li Huiqiong’s press conference was intercepted by Liang Guoxiong
During Li Huiqiong's speech, Liang Guoxiong and his support group continued to slogan with loudspeakers. Li Huiqiong repeatedly said that "it is too embarrassing" and "listen to you (reporter) to talk about it", and that the election is fair. I was extremely angry at the harassment behind me, and later I went back to the press conference and left the scene. However, Liang Guoxiong and others have been following Li, and they have blocked their car driving after Li Deng boarded the car.
Liang Guoxiong said in a speaker that Li Huiqiong responded to his allegations in three minutes and denounced her as the "originator" of the revision of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance. Liang also said that many media had contacted him and Li to attend the forum, but Li has always refused to ask her to "invisible and immediately apologize." Surrounded by this, Li's supporters were dissatisfied with the obstacles that prevented the private car from leaving, and once confronted the people present, the process was disturbed for up to 20 minutes. Li Huiqiong has not responded, and the two sides dissipated after a round of distraction. After that, about 10 police cars drove to the scene, and Kaimi asked the reporter to "go back to the pedestrian road" and leave.
