The Legislative Council election was originally scheduled to be held in September, but due to the third wave of epidemics in Hong Kong, the government announced that the Legislative Council will be postponed for one year, that is, September 2021. The postponement of the election has given rise to many uncertainties and also disrupted the deployment of candidates. Among them, Deng Jiabiao of the Federation of Trade Unions "resurrected" this time, replacing the current deputy director of the Labor and Welfare Bureau, He Qiming, in the New Territories East, and won the brothers of the Federation of Trade Unions. Lu Songxiong and the current MP Huang Guojian carry the bridge. This camp has a higher chance of winning than his past elections. However, as the government postponed elections, no one could predict that the political situation would change a year later, and Deng Jiabiao's return to the legislature might be hindered again.

Deng Jiabiao, 40, was automatically elected to the Legislative Council in 2012 according to the functional constituencies of the labor sector. According to the "Family Rules" of the Federation of Trade Unions, members of the labor sector elected to "sit for a term" must be transferred to direct regional elections. In 2016, he moved to New Territories East to stand for election, but unfortunately he lost by 26,931 votes. Until the 2018 Legislative Council New Territories East by-election, Tang Kabiao represented the establishment and confronted the pro-democratic New Democratic League Fan Guowei and Saigon District Councillor Fang Guoshan. In a melee, Tang Kabiao was still defeated by Fan Guowei by 30,858 votes and fell again. defeat.

With the rapid changes in the social situation, the anti-regulation movement led the democrats to victory in the 2019 district council elections. Tang Jiabiao, who abandoned the "Yat Tung Village North" constituency and landed in the "Shui Chuen O" constituency in Sha Tin, was not spared. Although "Shui Chuen O" was regarded as the constituency for new public housing with a high proportion of new immigrants, he still voted 32. The enemy Sha Tin district governor, Lu Deming, lost three straight elections and became a "double-lost" councillor.

Moved to Jiudong, and his brothers carried the bridge Deng Jiabiao agreed to postpone the election

Huang Guojian, the Federation of Trade Unions, who has been re-elected as a member of the Jiudong Legislative Council for three consecutive terms, originally planned not to compete for re-election in 2020. He Qiming will play in the labor sector. However, as He Qiming was recruited by the government to join the "hot kitchen", Deng Jiabiao, who had twice run for the direct elections of Xindong, succeeded and moved to the Jiudong, and was supported by the brothers of the Federation of Trade Unions Lu Songxiong and the current MP Huang Guojian. The election situation is expected to be optimistic. However, with the onset of the third wave of the epidemic, the government postponed the election, making the election more complicated, creating more uncertainties for Deng Jiabiao's return to parliament.

Deng Jiabiao's return to the parliament has been difficult, but he said earlier that he agreed with the postponement of the elections, describing that "the fight against the epidemic is the first priority, and election politics is on the side." If he decides to postpone the elections, he has no alternative. Regarding the criticism that the establishment of the establishment of a postponement of elections was all due to "fear of losing," he retorted that "elections are won or lost, and no votes are drawn for a day. The citizens are not known." Deng Jiabiao also pointed out that if there is an election, it will be implemented. Doing people’s livelihood work is more flexible without election burden.
