A total of 3 people shook the wheel but "different routes to the same goal"

Because Zhang Yuren in the catering industry has the deepest qualifications, he was the first to take the oath. He took the oath in English and held the Bible.

However, no other congressman has sworn an oath in English since him.

A total of 3 people took the oath in Mandarin, all from the election committee, including Zhou Wengang, Sun Dong, and Tan Yueheng.

According to the "Hong Kong 01" reporter's live statistics, 16 people held the "Bible" and took the oath, followed by Zhang Yuren, Liang Meifen, Tian Beichen, Yi Zhiming, Mai Meijuan, Liao Changjiang, Zhou Haoding, Di Zhiyuan, Lin Suwei, Chen Zhongni, and Chen Zuheng , Huang Yuanshan, Guan Haoming, Li Dongguo, Long Hanbiao, Jian Huimin.

After Lu Songxiong of the Federation of Trade Unions read the oath, the Secretary-General of the Legislative Council, Chen Wei'an, said that he could not read it clearly and asked him to read it from the beginning. Lu finally read the oath again and passed the test; when the non-organizationalist Di Zhiyuan read the oath with the Bible in hand , And accidentally missed the word "Hong Kong" in "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region". After Chen Wei'an reminded him to read it again, it would pass.

The DAB Chen Keqin, who has been re-elected since 2008, is the only person who has not raised his right hand or held the bible as required by the Secretariat to swear. Chen Wei'an did not remind him on the spot.

However, the Secretariat later responded that the law does not require the right hand to be raised, but is just a recommendation for unification.

Chen Keqin later responded that he had confirmed with the "relevant departments" that the oath just now was valid.

Legislative Council Swearing|Chen Hacken did not raise his right hand to swear. There is a problem?

Secretariat: There is no requirement that 90 legislators of the Legislative Council must complete the oath.
