After the election restructuring plan was released, all parties in the establishment are eagerly preparing for the election of the election committee in September.

According to the draft, the third sector of the Election Committee has added a 60-seat "community association" category. Large associations such as the Guangdong Association of Societies and the Fujian Association of Societies have all been selected. Only 160,000 members have gathered in the political and business community. The association is not on the list of election committees, triggering dissatisfaction among the "influencers", and the executives of the association sent a letter to Chief Executive Carrie Lam to reflect this.

The election committee’s "distribution of cakes" caused displeasure within the establishment. It is reported that the Hong Kong Dongguan Association of Associations, chaired by the chief executive of Kingston Securities, Zhu Liyuehua, has also expressed grievances against the association. "It doesn't feel like a taste.

Some members of the association said frankly that in the past, the Association has contributed money and efforts to support the "National Security Law" and the electoral reform, but now it is not on the list of the election committee, which makes people feel neglected.

The permanent honorary chairman includes Tan Jinqiu, a member of the CPPCC Standing Committee. Zhu Li Yuehua, the richest woman in Hong Kong.



The Association stated at the time that there are more than 800,000 Dongguan folks in Hong Kong, accounting for about one-tenth of the total population of Hong Kong. There are as many as 57 Dongguan folk associations, with a total of more than 250,000 members.



Some members of the association said frankly that the Dongguan Association of Associations was not named on the list of election committees, which disappointed many people of Dongguan. They pointed out that Dongguan has made a lot of contributions to the development of Hong Kong through Hong Kong people's love for the country and Hong Kong. For example, donated last year. A large number of masks and disinfection supplies have also been published in the newspaper and supported by the street station on many major issues of right and wrong.

When Chen Yongqi accepted the inquiry of "Hong Kong 01", he said that the "community associations" of the Election Committee are based on the province, and Dongguan is a city, so it was not included. However, he pointed out that the Dongguan Association is a group member of the Guangdong Association of Associations. There are more seats in this sector.

As for the Chaozhou community, they were dissatisfied with the grouping. Chen Yongqi only claimed that he was not a Chaozhouese and could not comment.

Chairman Chen Zhenbin and Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Lin Jianyue wrote to Chief Executive Carrie Lam and members of the Legislative Council earlier, hoping that the Hong Kong government can properly handle the association’s affairs. Reasonable demands.

However, people in the government have long stated that it is difficult to make changes. If the government "gave the green light" to the Chaozhou General Association, it would be difficult to explain it to other associations, emphasizing that this time the provincial and county-level associations are used as the "finalist" criteria.

After the election restructuring, the power of the Election Committee has greatly increased, including the right to nominate candidates for the Legislative Council and elect 40 members of the Legislative Council of the Election Committee sector.
