Lam Cheng: The incompleteness of the conference is due to problems in the 2019 elections

In the 2019 district council elections, the democrats took advantage of the anti-amendment public opinion and won the election, winning 86% of the directly elected seats in Hong Kong and dominating the 17 district councils.

Afterwards, the government began to amend the regulations to require them to take oaths, and news continued that once the oath was ruled invalid, the district councillors would be charged for their salary since taking office, often exceeding one million.

The news triggered a wave of resignations of district councillors this year. So far, more than 200 people have resigned.

The seven pro-democratic district councillors on Hong Kong Island who have been ruled to invalidate the oath were all involved in the primary election of the Legislative Council last year. Members of the Kowloon and New Territories districts will also take the oath later.

She pointed out that at this stage, we must first complete the oath in batches before knowing how many of the incumbent district councilors meet the requirements of public officials. The functional and operational issues of the tenure.

She also emphasized that the meeting with Vice Premier Han Zheng yesterday did not discuss relevant issues.
