Tan Yaozong: The government cannot "Da'an will"
Tan Yiu-chung said on a radio program this morning that he suggested that the government consider postponing the election of the Legislative Council. He hopes to remind the government to give priority to the epidemic and public health and emphasize that the establishment of elections is not a major issue. He also said that once the epidemic is not under control, the government must study and respond to legal issues such as whether the election can continue and the vacuum period in the Legislative Council. Tan Yaozong believes that the voting day is not far away and the government cannot "make Daan's will."
Tan Yaozong mentioned that many citizens have moved to live and work in the Greater Bay Area. If they want to return to Hong Kong during the epidemic, they need to undergo a 14-day compulsory quarantine. They are worried that voters may not return to Hong Kong to vote.
As for how long the election day should be postponed, Tan Yaozong believes that a large extent depends on the development of the epidemic, and it is necessary to study how to deal with the relevant situation if the new Legislative Council fails to form.
