The Election Committee election will be held this Sunday (19th). About 4,800 registered voters or authorized representatives will elect 364 seats out of 13 sectors, together with 325 ex officio members, 156 nominated members and 603 Members who are automatically elected will form the new election committee.
After the restructuring, the power of the electoral committee has been greatly increased. It not only nominates and elects the chief executive, but also elects 40 members of the legislative council. The role of the electoral committee will also be improved, and it is necessary to provide advice on the sector and industry to which it belongs.
The Election Committee has set up a new convener system to be responsible for convening meetings of the Election Committee when necessary. In addition to setting up a "general convenor", it will also appoint a number of conveners in each sector. It is reported that there are preliminary candidates in some sectors.
The chief convenor is appointed by the "National Leadership" election committee
The new election committee has a general convener system, responsible for convening meetings of the election committee when necessary, handling related matters, and being appointed by the election committee holding a "national leadership position." If the problem is not resolved, the chief convener can call the election committee to discuss, and it does not need to be dealt with by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam said in March this year that it is believed that the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will be the chief convener, that is, Tung Chee-hwa or Liang Zhenying "choose one of two."
It is understood that after the results of the election on September 19, the authorities will announce who will be the chief convener in the short term.
When receiving enquiries, Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that after the election of the Election Committee has settled, the candidate for the chief convenor will be announced at an appropriate time. He pointed out that the vice chairman of the CPPCC is a deputy state-level official and is more suitable to serve as the chief convenor.
Recently, political circles have whispered that the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has also had the opportunity to serve as the chief convener. Tan Yaozong said, "No one has notified me."
Annex I of the revised Basic Law stipulates that the chief convenor shall appoint a number of conveners in each sector of the Election Committee. It is reported that there are already candidates in some sectors, such as the fifth sector of the People’s Congress and the CPPCC National Committee, the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Tang Yingnian, president of the Friendship Association, is one of them.
In fact, some subsectors already have people responsible for organizing the convening work, such as Liang Hongzheng, the vice chairman of the All-China Youth Federation under the "national group of Hong Kong representatives."
A senior organization pointed out that the role of the new election committee has changed. "It is not a nomination and voting once every five years." It is also necessary to play the role of the election committee on weekdays, extensively contact the industry, and offer advice on government policies.
The person pointed out that it is believed that it is a special situation to "have trouble" the general convener of the meeting, and each sector even sets up conveners in groups to effectively coordinate the work of the election committees of all sectors.
Some ex-officio election committees pointed out that the election committees of different sectors have established communication groups to exchange current affairs. After the election on September 19, the 40 sub-groups will meet separately, and the leaders of each group will meet in time to hold the "Wulin Conference" to discuss different topics. Discuss, build consensus, and even gather forces to make appeals to the government to promote policies.
