The Democratic Party held a special membership meeting today (20th) to by-elect the party’s vice chairman and two members of the Central Committee. Among them, the vice chairman is only for the veteran Li Yongda, who is also the chairman of the Democratic Party’s Election Committee. He was elected with a high percentage of confidence.
Wong Tai Sin District Councillor Cheung Mau Ching and Kwai Tsing District Councillor Leung Kwok Wah were also successfully elected as Central Committee members of the Democratic Party.
In an interview with "01", Li Yongda stated that the public opposed the Democratic Party’s election to the Legislative Council very strongly. He pointed out that in addition to Lin Zhuoting, Yin Zhaojian, Hu Zhiwei and Zhao Jiaxian involved in the primary election, two former party chairmen Yang Sen and He Junren were also detained. Imprisoned, bluntly said: "When did you ask to run for the election? No one in the party is interested in discussing it." He added: "The more people we pull, the more voices opposed (candidate)."
The remanded three urged to "get out of the mountain"
Former Legislative Councillor Lin Zhuoting, who was remanded in custody for the primary election, resigned earlier as Vice Chairman of the Party. Former Chairman Hu Zhiwei and former Legislative Council Member Yin Zhaojian also resigned from the Central Committee due to their remand. The Democratic Party held a special general meeting today. , To hold by-elections for the vacancies of the three Central Committee members.
For the position of vice chairman, only veteran Li Yongda, who is also the chairman of the Democratic Party’s Election Committee, competed. According to sources, he was elected as the vice chairman with a high percentage of confidence.
In an earlier interview, Li Yongda revealed that he had returned to serve as the leadership of the Democratic Party because his three sons were remanded and urged him to "go out."
It’s hard to estimate DQ’s rumors that "the Democratic Party will have to face any difficult environment."
Li Yongda pointed out that the public opposed the Democratic Party’s election of the Legislative Council very strongly. He also pointed out that in addition to Lin Zhuoting, Yin Zhaojian, Hu Zhiwei and Zhao Jiaxian involved in the primary election, the two former party chairmen Yang Sen and Ho Chunren were also imprisoned. He said bluntly: "At that time Zhong asked to run for the election? No one in the party is interested in discussing it," he added, "The more people we pull, the more voices opposed (candidacy)."
There are rumors that a large number of Democratic district councillors may be deprived of their membership due to the primary election. Li Yongda said that I do not know whether the DQ rumors are true or false. Some newspapers refer to DQ 170 people, and some online media refer to DQ 150 people. I wonder if there will be tomorrow. The media said that it would meet 250 people in DQ. They believed that the rumors could not be discussed without substantive information, and emphasized that in any difficult environment, the Democratic Party will also think about how to deal with it. "Any difficult environment, the Democratic Party will have to face it. If the party loses its seat in the district council, it will find a way to "stabilize the party," and then think about what it can do.
