The Central Committee and the Disciplinary Committee, which are regarded as the highest power structure in the Democratic Party, were re-elected on Sunday (6th). Registrations are closed today (1st). Only Luo Jianxi, the chairman of the Southern District Council and the current vice chairman of the party, is competing for the post of party chairman. Luo The chance to take over as the "helm" of the Democratic Party is sung to the forefront.
The focus of this re-election is the election of party vice chairman. Lin Cheuk Ting, who has just stepped down as a member of the Legislative Council, joined the battle and competed with Kwun Tong District Councillor Leung Yiting and Sha Tin District Councillor Sin Zhuolan for two vacancies.
Some members of the Democratic Party analyzed that Lin Zhuoting is well-known and has veteran votes. He has a high chance of being elected. It is also judged that Lin’s "apprentice" Xian Zhuolan has a slightly higher chance of being elected than Liang Yiting, because Xian Zhuolan has the support of young party members and also absorbed some veterans vote.

Some Central Committee said that Lin Zhuoting had "iron votes"
The election of the vice chairman is the focus of this election campaign.
Some Democratic Party Central Committee members analyzed to "Hong Kong 01" that Lin Zhuoting is well-known and supported by most of the veterans, and has a high chance of winning the election of the vice chairman. They also believe that Liang Yiting and Xian Zhuolan are equal in strength.
According to this person’s analysis, Zhuolan Xian is Lin Zhuoting’s "apprentice", and those who support Lin Zhuoting may also support Zhuolan Xian; and Liang Yiting’s support cannot be ignored because she has a relatively deep experience in the Democratic Party and has a high reputation on the Internet. , For example, once hosted a program with the veteran Li Yongda on the Internet.
However, a member of the Central Committee who supported Liang Yiting said frankly, "The ideal is of course Edith (Liang Yiting) plus Zolin (elected)." However, Lin Zhuoting has "iron votes". It is expected that many iron votes will also fall on Xian Zhulan, lamenting that Liang Yiting may be at a disadvantage. .
It is understood that since Lin Zhuoting announced his candidacy for vice chairman, some party members who supported Liang Yiting were dissatisfied. They believed that the new generation of the Central Committee should take over. At one time, they considered sending a fourth person to fight Lin Zhuoting, but in the end nothing happened.
Some leaders of the Democratic Party admitted frankly that they are very encouraged by the large number of new members of the Democratic Party who are willing to actively participate in party affairs.
He pointed out that in the current very complicated political situation, the Democratic Party has just experienced the "leave and stay issue" and the general resignation. The young people in the party are not discouraged. Instead, they are more actively involved in the affairs of the party, including the grouping of young people to be elected. The Ministry of "Democratic Youth" described them as vigorous and energetic, and they were very happy about it. They also pointed out that the party had previously held closed-door meetings on the future, political lines, etc., and said with a smile that these brainstorming sessions in the past would only have " "Three or four kittens" and the participation of the leadership, now the number of participants has greatly increased and they are very active in expressing their opinions.
