Among them, the Central Committee of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) last night (21st) established an internal party primary election mechanism, with the leadership and regional branches voting, attendance, etc. The "general election" party members represented the DAB in direct elections to the regional elections and seats in the super districts, and will accept applications next month.
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) suffered losses in the district council election last year. Many double-members failed to be re-elected, including being promoted to the Legislative Councilor Zhou Haoding through the Super District Council. Chang Yan Wenyu intends to sign up for the party primary election, replacing Zhou Haoding's vacated vacancy.
However, the DAB currently has only 21 seats in the District Councils, which is only enough to nominate one person for election. To continue to send two teams to face the challenge, it will have to "borrow votes" from other constituents.

Yan Wenyu: Does not rule out the possibility of running
The DAB Central Committee met last night to discuss the deployment of the Legislative Council election. It was decided to use the primary party election method to determine candidates for the battle. The specific scoring mechanism has not yet been finalized. However, it is known that the DAB Central Committee, Legislative Council members, various regions The chairman and members of the branch have the right to vote, and their proportions are similar. The primary election mechanism has higher requirements for members who are running for re-election, including reporting on political achievements and media exposure in the past few years.
Among them, in the Legislative Council District Council (Second) sector commonly known as the "Super District Council", Chairman Li Huiqiong is expected to continue to lead. Zhou Haoding's vacancy attracted the coveted second echelon of the party. One of them was Kwun Tong District Councillor Yan Wenyu. Born in the 34-year-old Yan Wenyu area, he is an "apprentice" to former Legislative Councillor Chen Jianlin. He was the chairman of the Young Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong. He joined the party leadership last year as deputy secretary-general. Yes, I am currently pursuing a PhD in Policy Studies at Lingnan University. Last year, the District Constituency Alliance voted defeated, and Yan Wenyu was one of the few party members who successfully retained their seats.
Regarding whether he would participate in the party's primary election, Yan Wenyu said in an inquiry that he was thinking about the position to serve the society and would not rule out any possibility now. Yan Wenyu has rich experience in participating in the "Super Zone". As early as 2012, she has participated in the "Super Zone" for the first time. She was ranked on the list of Li Huiqiong's helper. She also continued to serve as Li Huiqiong in the last election. What about the Lord?

The entire formation needs to discuss the formation
The DAB currently has only 21 seats in the District Councils. As the dual members such as Zhou Haoding and Liu Guoxun fell to the horse, there are not many options for Hong Kong's popularity and ability to play in the "Super District". Most of the other district councillors lacked visibility. Some people in the DAB pointed out that it is still unknown whether the party will continue to send two teams to the election. One is that there are insufficient nominations, and the other is that it is rare for suitable candidates to buy, and Yan Wenyu's ability in the party's qualifications and popularity, etc. Whether it is acceptable to all parties is also questionable.
Participation in the "super zone" requires nomination by 15 elected district members. If the DAB maintains the two teams to participate in the election, it will need to borrow votes from other constituents. Therefore, how to arrange the seats in the "super zone" requires the entire constituents to discuss. Good candidates appear. It is not easy for the DAB to keep two "super-zone" seats.
