Last update date: 2020-07-13 22:14The Democratic Legislative Council primary election ended yesterday, with a total of more than 610,000 people voting at the electronic and physical ticket stations. The primary election coordinator Dai Yaoting, Ou Nuoxuan and Democratic Power Convener Zhao Jiaxian held a press conference tonight to announce the electronic ticket Voting results.
Among them, in the West Kowloon Constituency, Democratic Party Huang Biyun, who has been criticized, ranked seventh with only 3,765 votes, more than 3,700 votes away from Feng Dajun, who ranked fourth. However, different districts have different forms of coordination. Among them, Kowloon West adopts the "primary election and abandonment of dual-track system."

Apologies for the leak of the counting result
Zhong Jianhua said at the press conference that he received news that the physical tickets on Hong Kong Island had already been counted at 8 pm, but he had no data in hand. Moreover, the announcement of each district one by one will also cause inconvenience, and I urge everyone to give more time, and the overall figures will be announced tomorrow.
He once again apologized for the leakage of the counting result in advance, emphasizing that he would thoroughly investigate the incident. He pointed out that the organizer's computer may have been hacked, and it does not exclude that its system has been authorized to monitor under the National Security Law.
The Bureau of Constitutional Affairs and Mainland Affairs stated that the Democratic Party held the primary election of the Legislative Council, and the organizers advocated the call to win the "35+" Legislative Council seat to fully veto the budget of the SAR Government for the purpose of "scramble". Suspected of constituting the crime of subverting state power as stipulated in Article 22 of the National Security Law of the Port Area, that is, using illegal means to severely interfere with, obstruct, or destroy the central authority of the People's Republic of China or the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in performing its functions according to law.
Dai Yaoting retorted that the organizer never called for anything, and the word "scramble" did not appear in the documents issued by the organizer. The participating teams agreed to use the basic law to confer on the constitutional power of the Legislative Council to hold the SAR government accountable, including vetoing financial The power of the budget does not understand what the so-called "illegal means" mean, nor does it understand how the rejection of the budget affects the central government organs.
The results of the electronic counting of votes show that candidates from non-traditional political parties are ranked high and were asked if they are confident of successfully coordinating various parties. Dai Yaoting said that everyone promised to follow the voting results, "One vote is one vote, this is everyone Clear agreement." He pointed out that the Kowloon West and Hong Kong Island constituencies did not agree on the number of elected teams. The similarity of candidates' votes may affect related decisions, but the final decision will be discussed together.
He also pointed out that the ranking of the poll results in September may be different from this primary election. At that time, the number of target seats may be decided first, and then the final decision will be made through the polls. He expressed confidence that a final agreement can be reached.
