Carrie Lam Takes Initiative in Asking NPCSC to Disqualify Lawmakers
特區政府按人大常委「決定」，取消公民黨楊岳橋、郭榮鏗、郭家麒，以及梁繼昌四名立法會議員資格後舉行記者會。行政長官林鄭月娥指今次情況特殊，被選舉主任裁定不合參選資格的立法會議員繼續出任，而本地法例無法處理，故需提請人大常委，形容如不處理屬「不負責任」，故她決定「作出承擔」。
A press conference was held after the qualifications of Civic Party lawmakers Alvin Yeung Ngok-kiu, Dennis Kwok Wing-hang, Kwok Ka-ki and Leung Kai-cheong were revoked in accordance with the decision of the NPC Standing Committee. Chief Executive Carrie Lam said the situation was exceptional: LegCo members ruled by returning officers to be ineligible to stand for election had continued to serve, while local laws could not address the matter. She said it was necessary to refer the matter to the NPC Standing Committee, describing failure to deal with it as “irresponsible”, and said she had decided to “take responsibility”.
