Li Jiachao was elected as the new chief executive yesterday (8th) with 1,416 electoral votes. Tan Yaozong, director of the campaign office and member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said on a Hong Kong and Taiwan program this morning that Li Jiachao's election showed that the electoral committee supported his platform, but it was difficult to pursue 100%. If the approval rate is high, we will regard disapproval votes and white votes as pressure and encouragement, and strive to do better.

He also pointed out that he is not sure how the progress of Li Jiachao's class formation will be, but he believes that some people will "voluntarily ask Ying", and the DAB is willing to recommend talents.

During his tenure as an official, the poll support was low. Tan: I don't think the public does not like Li Jiachao.

Tan Yaozong said that 100% support is very difficult, but he is very happy to see a high vote rate.

When asked whether Li Jiachao's net popularity in different polls was negative during his tenure as Chief Secretary for Administration, whether 99.2% of the support votes could truly reflect Li's popularity.

Tan Yaozong said that the Election Committee has "broad representation", not only representing itself, but also their constituents. He also pointed out that some election projects cannot be done under the epidemic and cannot be widely contacted with the public.

He believes that after Li Jiachao announced his election, the public's reaction was negative. He did not feel that his popularity was low. "I don't think the public did not like him."

As for the progress of the new government team, Tan Yaozong said that after the reorganization of the government structure, it is necessary to find officials from the three divisions and fifteen bureaus. The time is very tight, and the most important thing is to find officials who can handle things.

He pointed out that he didn't want to speculate at the moment. He believed that Li Jiachao had a good idea. He also believed that the current relationship between the executive and the legislature would be improved, and there would be no more noise, and some people would automatically ask for help.

In addition, the chairman of the DAB, Li Hui-king, has stated that the party will continue to train talents for the society. Tam Yiu-chung said, "If the government needs talents, we are willing to give up our love."

Yesterday, 33 electoral committees did not show up to vote, including Tung Chee-hwa, the former chief executive and vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Tan Yaozong said on the commercial TV program that Tung Chee-hwa's office had responded that the other party was resting, so Tung Chee-hwa was not disturbed during the period from when Li Jiachao announced his election to his election.

Di Zhiyuan: Will write to Li Jiachao to seek dialogue

Di Zhiyuan, chairman of New Thinking and member of the social welfare sector of the Legislative Council, publicly expressed his support for Li Jiachao earlier.

He said that this move was aimed at showing goodwill and giving the new government an opportunity to govern. He also pointed out that Li Jiachao would still monitor the government through the Legislative Council after taking office.

He also pointed out that New Thinking will send a letter to Li Jiachao today to seek dialogue, hoping that the goodwill shown by the political party can be exchanged for the new government to listen to different voices.

He also reminded that the promotion of dual universal suffrage is a constitutional responsibility like the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law, and the SAR government has the responsibility to fulfill it.

Democratic Party veteran Li Huaming, who had supported Di Zhiyuan in the Legislative Council election, expressed his disappointment at Di's decision and his position was no different from that of the establishment.

Di Zhiyuan responded that he and Li Huaming are good friends and will respect each other's opinions, but this time, after careful internal discussion of New Thinking, he decided that things are not so black and white. Encourage the government to do better.

DAB Legislative Council member Lau Kwok-hsun hopes that the new government can provide more specific policy goals, such as a commitment to return to the level of public housing for three years. Calculating the number of units recovered and re-allocated, the current public housing waiting list can be “cleared” in about four years, and after another six years, the level of three-year upstairs can be gradually restored.

He believes that the public only needs the government to have these specific political party goals in order to feel at ease.

As for the plan to upgrade public housing in advance, he believes that it is necessary to pay attention to which public housing estates can do this. If some areas are completely "barren", there are no stores, and the public has to rely on walking to travel, which is not very realistic.
