Last update date: 2020-07-25 07:00The nomination period for the Legislative Council election has begun. The Civic Party, Guo Rongkeng, who was named and bombarded by the "Two Offices" because of the internal disturbance, has signed up for re-election to the legal profession and signed a confirmation letter on Monday (20th). Under the haze of "DQ", Guo Rongkeng had already found a candidate for "Plan B", but he did not disclose who it was.
The legal profession has always been the bridgehead of the democratic camp. It has won seats in the parliament for many years, but the establishment is still determined to send members to challenge. According to the news, the establishment will send out "one old and one young" to fight, among which the camp has found the former criminal prosecutor and senior attorney Grenville Cross to fight; as for the younger one, he is proficient in civil law and common law. , More familiar faces in the media. It is pointed out that the establishment of the system is breaking the grid this time, hoping to allow the younger generation to rise to power, win support, and open a new situation for the legal profession.
According to the news, the establishment will fight with a combination of "one old and one tender", in which the camp has recruited the former criminal prosecutor and senior counsel Jiang Leshi to play. (Profile picture)
The formation of the establishment this time is very unusual. Instead of just sending one person to "singles", they are instead "one old and one young" participating in the war, hoping to break the pan-popular monopoly of the legal world. It is reported that this arrangement is based on the fact that the legal profession has always been the "older generation". Therefore, it is hoped that "change the atmosphere" to a young person, and give the establishment youth the opportunity to win support.
According to the news, the two have not yet decided whether to form the same team to play, and it is expected that a decision will be made at the end of the nomination period.
The 69-year-old Jiang Leshi is a senior in the legal profession, and his position in the industry is unquestionable. I believe there is no objection to his participation in the battle. His political stance in recent years has been clear. He has publicly expressed his support for the Hong Kong Government to amend the "Fleeing Offenders Ordinance" and enact the "Hong Kong District National Security Law."
As for the younger one, it is reported that he is a young man in his early thirties, who has been studying law, has received legal professional training, is proficient in civil law and common law, and is also active in the legal and youth sectors. The source also revealed that although the person was young, he was recognized by his predecessors regardless of his career, image, knowledge, and modest and studious attitude, and he was also a very familiar face in the media.

It is rumored in political circles that the "young candidate" was Chen Xiaofeng, a representative of the Hong Kong People's Congress. However, when he responded to the inquiry of "Hong Kong 01", he said with a smile that many media asked him about the news, but he was not in his early thirties. After the deputies to the National People's Congress are busy with work, they have no intention of running for election to the Legislative Council.

The legal profession has always been in the bag of the democrats and has won the seats for many years. However, since Guo Rongkeng was named and bombarded by the "Two Offices", there is a risk of "DQ", so it is rumored that he has found the former chairman of the Bar Association and a senior Barrister Chen Jingsheng played, but since the news broke, Chen Xiang Media denied that he would serve as "Plan B". But even if Guo Rongkeng is turned away, there is still a good chance of success for the replacement.
