In accordance with the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress yesterday (November 11), the government announced that in the Legislative Council elections scheduled for September this year, the incumbent members Yang Yueqiao, Guo Rongkeng, Guo Jiaqi, and Liang Jichang, who were ruled to be invalid in the nomination of the Legislative Council, will immediately lose their membership of the Legislative Council. .
Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, stated on the commercial TV program "Starting on a Sunny Day" today (12) that the decision was made to deal with the issue of the Returning Officer's ruling that four legislative candidates were not eligible but were allowed to extend their positions as members. .
He said that although the councillor Rab is annoying, it is not the main cause of the DQ.

Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, pointed out that at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress in August, it was proposed that four legislators were not eligible for election and that they were not allowed to stand for election. However, the NPC did not deal with the issue of being allowed to be extended as members. It was left to the SAR government to deal with it on its own, but the Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, believed that the legal basis was insufficient, so it was then referred to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for processing.
Tam Yiu-chung admitted that it would be the best practice to deal with the problem before the resumption of the Legislative Council.
He pointed out that the decision had nothing to do with the performance of the legislators after the resumption of the Legislative Council. He believed that Rab was indeed annoying, but it was not the main reason.
As for whether election committees and district councillors will follow uniform standards, he said that these people are all public officials and need to uphold the Basic Law and be loyal to the SAR government.
