Li Huaming: There are many opponents in the Democratic Party who will be invisible to the government if they do not stand.

The Democratic Party held a special general meeting today (26th) to vote on whether to run for the Legislative Council election after the reform in December. Li Huaming, a founding member of the Democratic Party and a former legislative council member who advocated for the election, met with reporters before attending the general meeting and said he knew the party. There are many people who disapprove of running for the election. "Don't know if there will be a miracle." He claimed to be one of the few party members who supported the election, and emphasized that he would insist on expressing his views at the meeting.

Li Huaming believes that if the Democratic Party does not run for the Legislative Council, the government will no longer respect the Democratic Party because the party has no recognized role. He described "I believe the government will be invisible to us."

In recent months, the atmosphere has changed from encouraging elections to "no encouragement, no hope."

Li Huaming, who stated that the Democratic Party would quit the party if it does not stand for election, met with reporters before the General Assembly. He mentioned that he had written an article in April this year that the Democratic Party "has space and need" to stand for election, and as a member of Parliament, he still has a channel to speak out. At that time, it was proposed that the central government not only allow the Democratic Party to stand for election, but also hope that the democratic parties of different spectrums can also stand for election.

Li Huaming said frankly that political changes in recent months have led to the dissolution of different democratic groups. He also pointed out that in the election of the Election Committee, except for Di Zhiyuan, all the electoral committees are all the same, describing that the atmosphere has changed.

He continued that a few months ago, he believed that the central government did not want to be "unique" and hoped that the Democratic Party could run for the election, but he believed that the current situation has changed a lot. Work hard by yourself".

He reiterated that the political party used the election as its purpose to monitor the government. He believed that even if the space is too narrow, the party is rooted in Hong Kong's identity and believes that there is no reason for not participating in the election.

Call for the need to form another pressure group

Li Huaming emphasized that the Democratic Party is a 100% political party. Individuals have also participated in the Legislative Council elections for more than ten years. He believes that political parties should stand for elections. Those in need can form another pressure group.

Li Huaming reiterated that he will never stand for election to the Legislative Council, nor will he top the DQ candidates. He just thinks that once the Democratic Party vetoes the election, those who intend to stand for election can only withdraw from the party or give up running for the election, which is a pity.
