The Legislative Council elections were held in September, and today (22nd) some people continued to sign up for the election, including the DAB Legislative Council Member Chen Keqin, the localist Liu Weikuang, and the protester He Guilan.

He emphasized that the health of the citizens must not be given up. He also pointed out that it is necessary for the establishment to maintain the leadership of legislation to protect people's livelihood and the economy.

Chen Keqin said that he hopes to continue to enter the parliament with Li Huiqiong after September, and that he has received the support of many rural committee chairmen to keep the establishment dominating the parliament. He criticized the democrats to dominate the district council, regardless of whether the bridges are repaired or the roads are repaired. People’s livelihood work such as festivals and festivals believes that once they are allowed to lead the Legislative Council, the consequences will be disastrous. The establishment must obtain a majority of the parliament to supplement the economy and people’s livelihood.

Regarding whether the election should be postponed in response to the epidemic, Chen Keqin said that he believes that the government should think about more preparations, including postponing the election, emphasizing that public health is an important consideration. The election should not expand the epidemic and should balance the election and public health. It is the responsibility of the government.

The honorary chairman of the New Territories Association of Societies Zhang Xueming, the chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, Li Huiqiong and other establishment figures were present to support Chen Keqin. Li Huiqiong said that the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong has serious elections in Hong Kong, and the elections in the New Territories East are also tight. He called on voters to support Chan Hacken and let him stay in the parliament.

Liu Yingkuang: Will sign the confirmation

Before signing up, Liu Yingkuang said that one of the messages of the primary election was that he hoped that the voices of those who supported the protesters and those arrested would be brought into the parliament. As a person who has been elected to the Legislative Council by DQ, he will try his best to comply with the government's requirements, including signing a confirmation letter. If he is again DQ, the government will have to face judicial challenges, and he earned more than 20,000 in the democratic primary election. Voting is also equivalent to being DQ, and it will arouse international attention.

Liu Ying-kuang pointed out that whether to sign the confirmation letter is everyone's own decision and will be respected. The dispute should be terminated and time should be taken to discuss subsequent countermeasures, including how voters allocate votes and postpone the election. He explained that there have been a lot of disputes about whether to sign the confirmation letter recently, but there was no such dispute in the district council election last year. He believes that the democrats should unite first and that the primary election has resolved the differences in the democratic camp.

He Guilan Visa Rejection Confirmation

He Guilan said when he signed up that he would not sign the confirmation letter, thinking that the more people who did not sign, the more people were protected. She also pointed out that she understood that Liu did not sign, and believed that whether he signed it had nothing to do with whether he had the will to resist.

Regarding whether he is worried about being DQ, He Guilan pointed out that as long as he opposes the National Security Law, there is a certain risk of DQ, thinking that DQ is only a political decision. He Guilan's political contacts will write about the Democrats, and will not disclose any backup plans if he is DQ.

As for what work will be available after entering the parliament, He Guilan pointed out that in the past few years, citizens have begun to fight against the parliament without hope, but she believes that there is still room for "cultural attacks and military combat" and can go more fully, such as committees outside some key motions. Do your best and believe that the effect of the democrats after entering the parliament does not need to wait until March next year to veto the budget.
