Less than two weeks before the polling day for the Legislative Council election, the Democratic Party held a special Central Committee meeting a few days ago to process the applications of five non-establishment candidates seeking Democratic Party support, but all of them were rejected in the end.
Leung Yiting, the vice chairman of the Democratic Party who signed the consent form to support the Hong Kong Island East candidate Pan Zhuohong, was sued by seven party members to the Disciplinary Committee because he did not obtain the party's prior consent.
It is understood that Su Yiheng, a former member of the Eastern District, who is regarded by the outside as the "main election", also wrote to the party on the eve of the special Central Committee, applying for resignation from the Central Committee.
When the Democratic Party chairman Luo Jianxi accepted the "Hong Kong 01" inquiry, he said that Su Yiheng had resigned from all party affairs, but had not applied for resignation.

Su Yiheng was disqualified as a member of the council because of the oath of a district councilor. He is a member of the Hong Kong branch of the Democratic Party. In 2018, he and Liang Yiting and other "pigeons" competed for the Central Committee. The two were successfully promoted to the Central Committee. Su Geng was elected with a high number of votes. Beheading, he played in the district council election the year before and was successfully elected as a member of the Eastern District, and he was regarded as a rising star of the Democratic Party by the outside world.
Last year, the Democratic Party’s Central Committee was re-elected, Liang Yiting was elected as the vice chairman, and Su Yiheng was re-elected as the Central Committee. The two were responsible for the formation of the "Mainland and Political Affairs Select Committee" in the middle of the year.
The Democratic Party’s vice chairman and veteran Li Yongda left Hong Kong for London in August this year. Su Yiheng secretly criticized Li Yongda for posting a post on social platforms saying that he “should be slammed by others.” His remarks caused controversy. Yin Zhaojian, the Democratic Party of the People’s Republic of China, even asked his party members to spread the word, not naming someone to criticize someone as "opportunist," and his position was repeated.
It is understood that after Su Yiheng made the relevant remarks, a party member visited Yin Zhaojian in the prison the next day. Without saying anything, the party member used paper to note down his remarks and uploaded it to his social page.
