The Election Committee subsector elections will be held in September, and the nomination period will begin on Friday (August 6).
New Thinking Chairman Di Zhiyuan said that the party is considering sending 3 to 5 people to stand for election in the social welfare sector and the information technology sector. He may participate in the social welfare sector.
As for the member of the Executive Council and Senior Counsel Tang Jiahua, he confirmed his intention to participate in the election of the legal profession. He hoped that the industry would have a little more rational voice and pointed out that he did not want the Bar Association to "follow the footsteps of the Education Association" and be terminated by the government.
Di: It takes time to understand who should be nominated for
Di Zhiyuan said in a press conference today (4th) that any election format will be considered, and the new thinking considers sending 3 to 5 party members to stand for elections throughout the social welfare and information technology sectors.
However, he said frankly that due to the extensive reforms of the electoral system, for example, half of the seats in the social welfare sector were returned by designated groups and the voter base has been converted to group votes, it still takes a little time to understand which groups of voters should be sought for nominations.
Di Zhiyuan also said that he is confident that the members of New Thinking can pass the review of the qualification examination committee, because they all agree with the role of the central government in Hong Kong, support the Basic Law and allegiance to the SAR, and believe that the central government does not want to be in the election committee. It is "all the same" inside, so I hope that more people from different spectrums will participate in this election.

Tang Jiahua intends to participate in the legal profession: I hope the industry has a rational voice
Some media reported today (4th) that Senior Counsel Liang Dingbang and Tang Jiahua both deliberately participated in the election committee through the legal profession.
Tang Jiahua confirmed his intention to participate in the election in response to the enquiry of the "Hong Kong 01" reporter. At present, it takes some time to sort out documents and fight for nomination.
Tang Jiahua pointed out that the final election may not be the most important, but he believes that the legal profession needs a little more rational voice.
He served as the chairman of the Bar Association from 1999 to 2001. He pointed out that the Association’s communication with the government in recent years was quite controversial, and that the executive committee’s representativeness in the industry was questionable. Stiff", I believe that as a member of the industry, I have the responsibility to open up new channels to express opinions and fight for rights and interests. "I really don't want the Bar Association to follow in the footsteps of the Education Association."
Tang also believes that in the future development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the legal profession has much work to do.
