The central government has drastically reformed the local electoral system. Following the election of the Election Committee and the Legislative Council, the election method of the NPC deputies to the Hong Kong District National People's Congress to be held at the end of next year will also be changed.
Tan Yaozong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, revealed yesterday (25th) that the next session of the Hong Kong People's Congress will be replaced by 1,500 members of the Election Committee and the first choice.
In other words, the election committee, which was originally responsible for electing the chief executive, will further monopolize the power to elect the representative of the port area after it has empowered the election of 40 members.
After the reunification, the Hong Kong People's Representatives have been elected by members of the "election meeting", including the chief executive, members of the previous election meeting, and Chinese citizens who were members of the Hong Kong National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the election committee.
As a result, the number of people in each "election meeting" continues to increase. There are about 2,000 people in the current term, including about 200 democrats, such as the founding chairman of the Democratic Party, Martin Lee, the former chairman of the Democratic Party, He Chunyan, and many former members of the Legislative Council.
This change means that these democrats can no longer serve as members of the "election meeting."
Representative of the Hong Kong People's Congress Chen Yong believes that this change is not only to deal with the technical problem of excessive numbers of people, but also to optimize the election system of the people's congress, in line with the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong".
Tan Yaozong: Candidates must be nominated by 15 election committees, regardless of category
Tan Yaozong said that the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress recently reviewed the "Measures for Election of Deputies to the 14th National People's Congress of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (Draft)", which will be passed to the General Assembly for approval. , The current election committee members and chief executives will elect 36 deputies to the Hong Kong People’s Congress.
He pointed out that candidates from the port area need to obtain nominations from more than 15 voters and do not need to be nominated by the five major sectors of the Election Committee.
He believes that the Election Committee under the new electoral system is broadly representative and has enough weight to elect representatives of the Hong Kong area.
Since the reunification of the National People’s Congress in Hong Kong, it is necessary to set up an "election meeting." According to the past, before each election, the NPC Standing Committee will issue a registration form to eligible members of the "election meeting." Those who choose to continue to serve can be re-appointed as members of the "election meeting".
However, deputies to the next session of the Hong Kong People's Congress will be elected by the current electoral committee, in disguise to break the practice of perpetual membership in the "election meeting."
Chen Yong: Voters can be guaranteed to meet the "Patriot" standard
Chen Yong estimates that there are three main reasons for the modification of the generation method in the port area. The first is technical problems. Because the number of "election meetings" has been accumulating in the past, and the number of electoral committees this year has increased, it will be difficult to find a place to hold meetings if the method is not changed. Voting; second, there are older members of the "election meeting" and their bodies are unable to handle the work of the "election meeting"; third, after experiencing the "dark violence" and improving the election system, the central government may hope to take the opportunity to optimize and improve the election system of the National People's Congress. The members of the "Election Conference" have not been reviewed by the Council. If they are elected by the Election Committee, it can be ensured that all voters meet the "Patriot" criteria.
Chen Yong continued to point out that if the election committee is not re-elected, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress may have to examine whether the members of the "election meeting" meet the requirements of "patriots."
