The Legislative Council election will be held on the 19th of next month. Pan Zhuohong, a self-proclaimed "centre yellowish" Supervisor of the Chinese Science and Technology Council, will play in the Hong Kong Island East Direct Election, slamming three establishment candidates.

It is understood that at least three former pan-democratic district councillors or people from the district have "fallen into the water" and assisted Pan Zhuohong behind the scenes, including sending a team of volunteers to assist in the promotion of Pan Bai Street Station.


Recently, many "non-establishment factions" have sought support from the Democratic Party. It is reported that Li Hongbo, a former vice chairman of the Tsuen Wan District Council and a member of the Democratic Party, has applied to the Democratic Party to support Liu Cheuk Yu, a candidate for the southwestern New Territories and a member of the Tsuen Wan District Council, in his personal capacity.

Li Hongbo admitted the news during the investigation of "Hong Kong 01", saying that Liu Zhuoyu took the initiative to contact him for support, and emphasized that in the past two years, he had not seen the other party "being particularly against the principle of pan-pop", so he regarded the other party as a fellow traveler.


Said the number of Pan Zhuohong's workers ``increased in a wild and straight line''

Legislative Council elections are on the verge of an arrow. A number of "non-organized" candidates who have successfully entered the gates have frequently fallen out of the districts recently to win public support. Among them, Pan Zhuohong's team has the highest exposure among the many candidates.

It is understood that Pan Zhuohong has been actively seeking support from people from all walks of life recently. At least three pro-democratic district councillors or people from the district have supported Pan Zhuohong behind the scenes. Another well-known business person who is popular with the public may express his support for Pan.

A local person said that he was supporting Pan Zhuohong as a behind-the-scenes candidate. He pointed out that many volunteers who belonged to his team had joined Pan's team. It is expected that at least 8 volunteers "will help to the end."

This person said that many neighbourhoods did not know Pan Zhuohong, but after understanding Pan's political platform, many people said they wanted to vote for it.

This person emphasized that his support for Pan Zhuohong was based on the fact that he did not want the establishment to be elected. He believed that no matter how the pan-people boycotted the election, the authorities could justify the election as a success, and asked, "How about choosing (meaning the candidate)?"

Local people say elections have the upper hand

Another local person described Pan Zhuohong as "Hong Kong version of Ke P", saying that Pan Zheng was "recruiting troops and buying horses" and that the number of volunteers was "crazy and rising." They also believed that Pan's election had the upper hand. "There are 3 institutional support, basically ( Pan) The fisherman gains" and believes that the current goal should be to challenge Wu Qiubei, the chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions.

According to this person’s analysis, the three establishment candidates have "mutually divided votes" and believes that as long as Pan Zhuohong succeeds in attracting voters who voted for Wang Weiyi and democratic ideas 5 years ago to vote again, plus 30% of the original support for the Democratic Party Or voters of the Civic Party came out to vote, "basically they have been able to win."

Li Hongbo (right) had previously applied to the Democratic Party to support Liu Zhuoyu, a candidate for the Southwest New Territories candidate in his personal capacity.

Li Hongbo understands the Democratic Party’s approach and hopes that "the line should not be tight"

Several "non-establishment" candidates "knocked their doors" earlier to seek support from the Democratic Party. The veteran of the Democratic Party, Li Huaming, also submitted a written application to the party, hoping to personally support the new thinking chairman Di Zhiyuan's candidacy in the social welfare sector.

The Democratic Party convened the Central Committee last Wednesday and decided to send questionnaires to relevant candidates to learn about their views on political issues such as the Democratic Party’s ideals and Article 23 legislation before making a decision.

It is reported that Li Hongbo, who has served as a member of the Tsuen Wan District Council for many years, has also applied to the Democratic Party earlier, hoping to support Liu Cheuk Yu, a candidate in the southwestern New Territories in his personal capacity.

Li Hongbo confirmed the news when he was inquired by "Hong Kong 01", saying that he had always supported the democratic party to run for the election. He also pointed out that only Liu Zhuoyu was the only candidate for the election in Tsuen Kwai Tsing. He asked, "You don't support Chen Hengpin?"

Li Hongbo continued that the definitions of "non-organizational" and "democratic faction" are relative. When Liu Zhuoyu participated in the district election two years ago, he belonged to the same camp as the pan-democrats. In the past two years, "it was not so good that it violated the principles of the pan-democrats." Therefore, he will regard the other party as a fellow traveler, "As for Xi Jinqu (Liu), everyone will wait and see." He also emphasized that supporting Liu Zhuoyu does not mean that he fully agrees with the other party's methods and ideas.

As for whether he will support Liu Zhuoyu by joining the election campaign team, Li Hongbo said that it depends on his time and the needs of the other party. At present, he has not decided on the level of participation. Ask the neighbours to support Zhuo Zhuo."

Li Hongbo also pointed out that he understands the Democratic Party’s method of sending questionnaires to candidates. He believes that if the party “doesn’t know” the situation and supports a certain candidate, it is a joke, but hopes that “the line will not be tight.” "Be flexible." He assumed that the candidate must answer 10 questions. If the answer to only one question is different from the Democratic Party’s philosophy, the party should not deny the candidate for this reason.

Candidates for Hong Kong Island East include Liang Xi from the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, Liu Tiancheng from the New Democratic Party, and Wu Qiubei from the Federation of Trade Unions.

Candidates for the Southwest New Territories include Chen Hangpin from the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong and Chen Yingxin from the Federation of Trade Unions.
