Last update date: 2020-05-30 15:20The Citizen Party today (30th) convened a special party meeting to approve the list of candidates for the 2020 Legislative Council election.
In the area of direct elections, Kowloon East Tan Wenhao, New Territories East Yangyue Bridge and New Territories West Guojiaqi all compete for re-election. Among them, Kwai Tsing District Councillor Xian Haohui will be placed on the same list as Guo Jiaqi, while Barrister Liang Jiashan and Yang Yueqiao will be placed on the same list. On Hong Kong Island, Eastern District Councillor Zheng Dahong replaced Chen Shuzhuang, who could not be elected because of the sentence in the Zhanzhong case.
In terms of functional constituency, Guo Rongkeng of the legal profession will compete for re-election, and Lin Ruihua, the convener of the Hong Kong SME Restaurant Alliance, is preparing to choose the catering industry.

The chairman of the Citizen Party, Liang Jiajie, said that it is difficult to predict the future situation and the possibility of being disqualified from running for election. "When the CCP tears its face, it may happen." Therefore, the special party members meeting held today also passed a resolution authorizing the Executive Committee to meet the situation of “variable and unforeseen circumstances” and failing to convene the special party members meeting in a timely manner. The most favorable strategy for the democratic parties to win more than half of the seats in the Legislative Council is to make final decisions and deployments for the official election list of the Citizens ’Legislative Council when necessary. When the candidates are disqualified or necessary, the Citizens Party will start the recruitment mechanism to respond. He also said that in the face of the current grim situation, he hopes that people from different spectrums of the democrats understand that they must cooperate fully and there is no room to attack each other.
Earlier said that Sha Tin District Councillor Huang Wenxuan, who was interested in running for the Super District Council, said that she had withdrawn from the recommendation list for personal reasons and would focus on the work of the District Council. Liang Jiajie also expressed his belief that the Citizen Party will start the recruitment mechanism and send members to the second functional group of the District Council, but Kowloon West will not send anyone to be elected.
US President Trump held a press conference yesterday, saying that he would introduce various measures to sanction China and Hong Kong on the National Security Act of the NPC. Liang Jiajie said that many Hong Kong officials and establishment factions are now "incoherent" and think they feel hesitant. He said that in the past, his stance on visiting abroad was to maintain Hong Kong's status as an independent customs zone. He believed that Hong Kong was a member of the liberal and democratic camp, embracing the same value and system, and hoped that foreigners would "support Hong Kong people". But at present, China does not give Hong Kong space to continue with one country, two systems, and Trump has acted on the basis of US self-interest considerations. The Hong Kong people have to grind between the two countries and can only buckle their seat belts to face the future.
