The Democratic Party is a veteran pan-democratic party in Hong Kong. The chairman of the Democratic Party has always been regarded as the leader of the democratic party by the political circle. The past chairmen include Martin Lee, Yang Sen, Li Yongda, He Junren and Emily Liu, all of whom are well-known names.
Political circles are concerned about whether the current party chairman Hu Zhiwei will be re-elected. Some party members pointed out that according to the party constitution, the chairman's term is up to eight years, and Hu Zhiwei is theoretically possible to be re-elected.
However, the party’s leadership revealed that the party is currently discussing the change of the cabinet within the party, in which it considers whether the party chairman is still a member of the Legislative Council.
The leadership explained that due to the increasingly heavy workload of the Legislative Council, it is no longer the same as the Legislative Council before and after the reunification. "Martin (Martin Lee) 𠴱 only needs to open a meeting and add a few committees, according to our family ( Members of the Legislative Council) have to be focused, participate in the affairs committee, and have a big deal at any time."
The leadership continued that in addition to the heavy workload of the Legislative Council, the party has always hoped to achieve a transition between the old and the new. Therefore, it is currently discussing whether to hand over the post of party chairman to a new generation of party members who are not members of the Legislative Council to cultivate There are more new fighters to deal with the turbulent political situation in the future, but there is still no final decision yet.
Yuan Haiwen, a member of the Central Committee of the Democratic Party and a member of the Sham Shui Po District, said that due to family, academic and other reasons, he will not compete for re-election.

A central committee revealed that a group of new generations have been actively organizing teams in recent months, hoping to form a team to compete for the seats of the party chairman, party vice chairman and the standing committee of the central committee. The central committee described the progress as good.
It is reported that the 36-year-old vice chairman of the Party, who has been focusing on internal party affairs, intends to compete for the post of party chairman. Kwun Tong District Councillor Leung Yi-ting is one of the candidates for the vice chairman. The candidate for the other vice chairman is yet to be determined. A new generation of district councillors has become the "iron gall" candidate for the Central Standing Committee.
In the past, the chairman of the Democratic Party has been held concurrently by members of the Legislative Council, and the party chairman's responses and attitudes on major political and people's livelihood issues are extremely significant.
Therefore, if a non-member of the Legislative Council becomes the chairman of the party after the re-election, the Democratic Party’s legislative council caucus will set up a party convener to coordinate the affairs of the Legislative Council, vote on voting, and parliamentary strategies, while responding to major issues, just like the Civic Party As the leader of the party, it is like the division of labor between the party and government without the need to modify the party constitution.
Two years ago, the annual meeting of the Democratic Party also proposed the "division of labor between the party and the government." According to the law, three-quarters of the members present were required to pass the amendment to the relevant articles of association. In the end, it failed to obtain enough votes.
