Last month passed the election of seven teams
The Democratic Party held its annual general meeting on the 15th of last month. The General Assembly approved the Election Committee and the Central Committee to recommend that it adopt the "N" strategy in this year's Legislative Council elections, that is, maintain the existing seat arrangement and send one in each of the five directly elected constituencies. Participate in the list and send two lists to the District Councils (2) functional constituencies commonly known as "Super District Councils".
Based on information from various sources, the seven current members of the Legislative Council include Xu Zhifeng, Huang Biyun, party chairmen Hu Zhiwei, Yin Zhaojian, Lin Zhuoting, and "super-zones" Junjun Yu and Tu Jinshen will sign up to participate in the selection, among which Kowloon West has once again competed.
Huang Biyun: It is good to have competition
It is reported that Huang Biyun, 60, is actively considering winning a second term reelection in Kowloon West, but she will once again meet the challenge of Yuan Haiwen, a "suckling pigeon". Huang Biyun accepted inquiries a few days ago, admitting that she will participate in the party's selection, and she knows that Yuan Haiwen intends to participate in the election. She said that competition is a good thing, and she is confident that she can "go out" smoothly and continue to represent the Democratic Party in the Legislative Council election.
Yuan Haiwen: To bring in the voice of young people
Yuan Haiwen said that he has collected enough nominations yesterday to sign up for the party's selection. He is confident that he can qualify and play for the Democratic Party in the Legislative Council. He will try his best to achieve better results in different tasks. Yuan Haiwen also said that in the current social situation, members of the Legislative Council need to know more about the social situation and walk with young people. He is confident to do better in these areas. He also said that he hopes to bring new thinking into parliament, including the fight for reduction. Limits on one-way permits, crackdown on fake family reunification, promotion of water resources policy, and the fight against the rights and interests of patients can not crack down on public medical nurses and so on.
Yuan Haiwen is 35 years old. He just re-elected as a member of the Sham Shui Po District Council with a high vote in the District Council election. He also fought in the Democratic primary election in the Kowloon West by-election the previous year, but failed to "go out." Yuan Haiwen is currently the chairman of the Democratic Fundraising Committee and a member of the Democratic Standing Committee. He has earned the reputation of "beauty Yuan" for his long-term interest in consumer rights. He was previously a member of the Consumer Council. Huang Biyun, a 60-year-old university lecturer, retired from PolyU last year and focused on parliamentary work. She has made a name for her long-term focus on drinking water safety, but she has been criticized for being too moderate in her political stance.
An analysis by the Democratic Party ’s Central Committee pointed out that Huang Biyun is an incumbent member of the party and can be seen in the party, but Yuan Haiwen has the support of young members. In addition, Yuan Haiwen ’s popularity and political achievements have increased significantly in the past four years. Members of Jianwang and Jiulong Districts stated that they would give nominations to Yuan Haiwen, describing Huang Biyun's unprecedented challenges. According to the party's Central Committee, the current nomination method has been changed in the current party selection. Instead, ten current members must be nominated before they can “enter the gate.” Some party members have concerns about deciding whether to nominate Yuan Haiwen.
Although Xu Zhifeng has caused controversy due to the "mobile phone grabbing incident", his popularity and popularity have been high due to the anti-revision campaign. According to the current scoring mechanism, Xu Zhifeng has a very high chance of winning the selection. (Profile picture / Photo by Yu Junliang)
Xu Zhifeng was challenged? Multiple potential candidates indicate no candidates
As for Hong Kong Island, the political circle has been rumored that the party's elders are dissatisfied with the current political line of the incumbent member Xu Zhifeng. He hopes that in the Legislative Council election this year, the "substitution" will take place. In addition to the mobile phone turmoil the previous year, the outside world is very concerned about the direct election of Hong Kong Island. Whether Xu Zhifeng will be challenged by other party friends.
However, a number of potential candidates have received enquiries indicating that they will not participate in the selection of Hong Kong Island. Luo Jianxi, vice chairman of the Democratic Party and chairman of the Southern District Council, has stated that he will not participate in the selection. He said: "Peak's participation in the movement is obvious to all, and there will be competition." Zhao Jiaxian, vice chairman of the Democratic District Council of the Democratic Party, said: "I personally fully support Xu Zhifeng to continue to be the representative of the Democratic Party Hong Kong Island. Tu Jinshen and Yun Junyu continue to be super representatives!" Democratic Party Central and Western District Councillor Wu Kaixin also denied participating in the party selection rumors.
According to some party members, the nomination method has been changed in the current party selection. From the past "one person nominated and two people reconciled", they had to be nominated by ten party members to "enter the gate." However, the Democratic Party's selection materials continue to adopt "June 22" as the scoring mechanism, that is, 60% of the polls are held, and 20% of the branch and regional party groups vote. Therefore, although Xu Zhifeng has caused controversy due to the storm of mobile phones, his popularity and popularity are high due to the anti-revision campaign. According to the current scoring mechanism, Xu Zhifeng has a very high chance of winning the selection.
