The Legislative Council elections will be held next month. Zhang Zhigang, president of the One Country, Two Systems Research Center, and Liu Zhaojia, vice president of the National Hong Kong and Macau Research Association, successively stated publicly that it is estimated that the turnout rate is only about 30%.

Li Huaming, a former member of the Democratic Party's Legislative Council, said that he has noticed that many establishments have been "continuously venturing" recently and have done "expectation management" on the voter turnout of the Legislative Council.


Li Huaming estimated that the voter turnout rate in direct elections "must be much lower than before." He revealed that he had communicated with the Panminist in Kowloon East "stakes", saying that these former district councilors or people in the district had no intention of mobilizing citizens to vote. Many of them were Indicate that he will not vote, "It is even more extreme that someone will say that even if Li Huaming is elected, he will not vote!"


Li Huaming said that the general public is "no addiction" to the new system: I am stupid to ask people to vote

Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, stated on a TV program that no candidate can be "fully sure" to win the election, or that the new election system has many variables. Candidates must work hard to complete the election project.

Regarding the increase in the number of deputies to the Hong Kong People’s Congress and CPPCC National Committee members, Tan Yaozong pointed out that the National People’s Congress and the CPPCC are more involved in the election committee sector. Integrate into the overall situation of national development.

Li Huaming pointed out that Panmin’s support for direct elections in the past was very stable. Each time about 55% of voters voted for Panmin. However, the “non-organized” people who participate now have very low visibility, weak regional work, and the election project is “good”. In addition, because of the new election system, the citizens "are not in a good mood," some of them expressly want to boycott the election, and ask: "Is there any pan-democratic supporter who will vote?" They also believe that the establishment "has won 80 to 90%."

Li Huaming believes that if the electoral turnout rate is low, it reflects that the acceptance of the new Legislative Council will also be low, and that the legislature is still all-in-one. Silly".

He also pointed out that if there are non-organized candidates who think that they can get the source of organizational votes, this idea is "too naive" and "thinking about it."
