Liang Jinwei refuses to resign: only the people can ask me to leave
[2100] Leung Kam-wai, member of the Stake Standing Committee and Kwai Tsing District Councillor, stated that he would not resign, saying that Hong Kong people may think that he is naive or disdain for his decision, because he knows he will be DQ and debt collection. "After facing three or four months In the trial of the June 4th case, I have a good chance of being imprisoned. The seats themselves are already in the countdown stage, and the meaning of staying is definitely not in the seats themselves."
He explained that he was dignified from a fair election to enter the parliament. "The only people who can ask me to leave are the people, and only the people who I am loyal to. If the government wants me to go, I can only make Yokote DQ me."

He apologizes to the public for the Democratic Party’s failure to complete the term of office, but he hopes that the public will understand the decision and emphasized that all district board members have passed the election. In the government's review, the court also stated that all district board members were properly elected. However, a new law has the power to deprive a properly elected member of the qualifications, and it can also pursue the salary since taking office, which is ridiculous.
Chen Ziwei said that he would resign as a district council member in the short term

[14:00] Democratic Party Chairman Luo Jianxi sent a message to some party members, saying that the main reason for resigning was to hope that his job would be certainty. He has a series of plans to continue serving in the region and can focus on implementation after leaving office. There is no need to continue to be affected by DQ threats to work in the area.
