Only more than half a year before the Legislative Council elections, different parties are actively coordinating candidates for the war. Among them, the DAB has established a primary election mechanism. Leaders and regional branches will vote, attendance, and other methods, and "general election" party members will represent the DAB in the war areas. Directly elected and Super District Council seats are closed today (18th).

The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) requires that more than half of the party members support the incumbent in the primary election. The DAB party met yesterday to hear reports from prospective candidates. However, it is reported that the current New Territories West MP Liang Zhixiang did not show up. However, many people in the region tried to “retain”. Eventually, Liang Zhixiang changed his mind and continued to run. He will be challenged by party member Zhou Haoding and three others.

The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) earlier launched the party's primary election plan. Registration will begin on the 3rd of this month. Today, the Central Committee will determine the list of participants of the "Voice of the Port of Hong Kong 2.0" on the 25th of this month. A consultation meeting of the five districts was held. It is expected that participants will need to explain the political platform and answer questions from party members by that time, and formally finalize candidates for the battle by April.

Among them, in the Super District Council sector, Party Chairman Li Huiqiong and Kwun Tong District Councilor Yan Wenyu have signed up. Among them, Yan Wenyu was a "survivor" in the district election last year and will replace the vacated vacancy by Zhou Haoding who lost the entry ticket to the "Super District". . In order to continue his career as a member of parliament, Zhou Haoding has signed up for the New Territories West primaries. He competed directly with Liang Zhixiang and Chen Hengzheng, making the situation in the New West the fiercest.

According to reports, Liang Zhixiang, a two-time New West MP, had originally intended to retreat, so he did not sign up for the primaries. As of yesterday, it was even more rumored that he had indicated to his party friends that he would not fight, but the news immediately caused "dissatisfaction". Many people in the region urged him to sit down for a while. In the end, Liang Zhixiang changed his mind and rushed to register before the "dead line" today. According to some people from the DAB, Liang Zhixiang has been entangled in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun for a long time, and is familiar with intricate regional forces. The other party is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the chairman of the New Territories Association. His political experience and skills are better. It is not easy for newcomers to take over.
