Li Jiawei and Ren Qibang have higher voices

District Councils (1) The functional constituency of the district councils is mutually elected by district councilors. With the democrats' victory in the district council elections, the district one seat is very likely to fall into the hands of the democrats. So far, many democratic district councillors have expressed their intention to compete for the district one seat. Among them, the Tuen Mun District Councillor Li Ka-wai and the New Alliance Tai Po District Councillor Ren Qibang spoke louder.

However, some members of the Democratic Party, which has 89 seats in the district council, are also interested in the election. Zhao Jiaxian expressed his intention to the Democratic Party for election earlier. The party will process Zhao Jiaxian's application for election today.

Shan Zhongkai, vice chairman of the Democratic Party’s Election Committee, said that the district councillors of the party will first vote on whether they support the Democratic Party’s participation in theater one and whether they trust Zhao Jiaxian in theater one. The Central Committee will review the results at night and decide whether to send Zhao Jiaxian for election. Shan Zhongkai said that the Central Committee has the opportunity to pass or veto Zhao Jiaxian’s election decision. He cited as an example that if the party has 80 district councillors supporting Zhao Jiaxian to play, if the Central Committee wants to veto Zhao Jiaxian’s election, sufficient evidence is needed.
