Tung Chee-hwa issued a statement saying that this is an important milestone for Hong Kong to move towards good governance and good governance. After restructuring and increasing empowerment, the EC fully reflects the new advantages of balanced participation and better balances the interests of all sectors of society, which is of great significance to Hong Kong's future political ecology and economic development.

Tung Chee-hwa is convinced that the successfully elected new Election Committee will certainly be able to live up to the expectations of the people, implement the original intention of improving the election system, jointly build a professional and rational culture of deliberation, elect patriotic rulers with both political integrity and ability, gather social forces to develop the economy and people's livelihood, and actively integrate into the overall situation of national development.

Tung Chee-hwa said that the whole Hong Kong people are very much looking forward to the effective implementation of the new election system, and in December this year and March next year, the new Legislative Council members and chief executive will be successfully elected as scheduled, creating a new situation for Hong Kong to be governed and prosperous, and creating a new golden era.

Leung Chun-ying posted on social media platforms under the title of "A Good Start in Improving the Electoral System" that the ELECTION Election clearly shows that Hong Kong's electoral politics bid farewell to the past nonsense and embarked on the road of clarity and rationality; the election results also fully reflect the broad representation of the EC. In the past few weeks, there has been an unprecedented scene in Hong Kong, and even the self-elected committee members, including many business giants who do not do grassroots home visits on weekdays and do not stand on the streets to shake hands with citizens, must also perform their duties, walk into the masses, get close to grassroots citizens, understand the people's livelihood, and listen to the people's feelings.

"Under the new electoral system, whether it is automatic election, whether it is facing strong opponents or weak opponents, it is necessary to have a public servant mentality and make all Hong Kong citizens, including grass-roots citizens, feel valued." This is the greatest and most tangible democracy. Leung said the Election Committee election was a good start and Hong Kong would shake off the stagnant years of the past. (End)
