立法會選舉．工聯會｜目前唯一政黨零棄選 16 人參選 九區直選「插旗」 梁子穎轉選委會不直選：呀穎欣都驚我落去做
The final meeting of the Seventh-term Legislative Council ended today (23rd), and the FTU announced its list of 16 candidates in the afternoon. Amid concerns over withdrawals, the FTU is currently the only party whose incumbent legislators have all remained in the race: all seven incumbent legislators will contest re-election, with three switching constituencies. Election Committee constituency legislator Leung Song-hung will contest the New Territories North West geographical constituency, while Labour constituency legislator Kwok Wai-keung will contest Hong Kong Island West. Dennis Tsz Wing Leung, who also represents the Labour constituency, will switch to the Election Committee constituency in the coming term.
Asked why he would not switch to a geographical constituency, Dennis Tsz Wing Leung said: “If I go to any one constituency, someone will be unhappy … even in the New Territories South West, Ah Ying-yin is worried I’ll go down to contest.” He said that taking part in the Election Committee constituency election “is also a case of one person taking three along to do the work”. FTU chairman Wu Chun-pak, who is seeking re-election in Hong Kong Island, said the FTU team consisted of its “most outstanding personnel” standing for election and that the list had been approved by its executive committee. They bore the FTU’s heavy mandate and workers’ expectations, and would certainly strive to win election.
立法會第七屆最後一次大會今（23日）完結，工聯會下午宣布 16 人參選名單。「棄選」陰霾下，工聯會是目前唯一能保住現屆議員「零棄選」的政黨，七名現任議員全部有得留低角逐連任，其中三人轉跑道，選委會陸頌雄轉直選新界西北。勞工界郭偉强轉直選港島西。同任勞工界的梁子穎，亦在來屆轉戰選委會。

「告別」議案｜指選舉提名期周五開始 李慧琼撤回告別議案：確保選舉公平
Amid a wave of Legislative Council members deciding not to seek re-election, some members who have yet to announce their plans had originally intended to express their parting thoughts tomorrow (22nd) at the Council’s final plenary meeting through a members’ “farewell motion”. However, political circles have recently been discussing the possibility of cancelling it. Lee Wai-hung, chairwoman of the House Committee and the motion’s mover, told the media this afternoon that she was withdrawing the motion to ensure electoral fairness. She said some members had recently raised concerns that the debate would take place very close to the nomination period beginning on Friday and, amid an “exceptionally intense election contest”, could be unfair to the election. The press conference lasted about six minutes. Lee was repeatedly asked whether she had considered that the speeches of individual members might be sensitive or embarrass the government; she repeated “nothing to add” five times. She acknowledged during the conference that different stakeholders “outside the legislature” had also conveyed their views to her.
立法會「棄選潮」下，部分尚未表態的議員，原計劃明日（22日）在立法會最後一次大會的議員「告別議案」訴「臨別」心聲，惟政圈近日流傳醞釀取消。提動議的內務委員會主席李慧琼今午見傳媒，宣布為確保選舉公正而撤回議案，她指近日有議員關注議案辯論與周五開始的提名期非常接近，而「選情異常激烈」下或對選舉不公。記者會全程約六分鐘，李慧琼多次被追問有否考慮個別議員演辭敏感或令政府尷尬，她五次重覆「冇補充」，期間承認「議會外」亦有不同持分者向其反映。

立法會棄選｜75 歲田北辰「見好就收」 成棄選第 16 人 區選敗將莊豪鋒接棒
With the Legislative Council election approaching, and four days remaining until the nomination period begins on Friday (24th), several incumbent lawmakers have announced that they will not run. There have also been reports that lawmakers have been subject to a “70-year age limit”. Michael Tien Puk-sun, 75, the Roundtable’s only Legislative Council member, announced outside the Central Government Offices this afternoon (20th) that he would not contest the next election. He will hand the party’s next geographical constituency direct-election bid to his legislative assistant and party district director-general, Mark Chong Ho-fung, while continuing as the party’s convener. He said: “Shouldn’t one quit while ahead, while people are still following you, so that you can take your ideals one step further?” Mark Chong Ho-fung said the “bad boy” image was not a political platform, and that they would “not blindly support or blindly oppose” policies; if they disagreed with a policy, they would propose an alternative. Records show that Mark Chong Ho-fung lost both of the two district council elections they contested and was appointed last year as a co-opted member of the Tuen Mun District Council’s Transport and Traffic Committee.
立法會選舉將至，距離本周五（24日）提名期還有四天，多名現任議員宣布不參選，有傳議員被劃「七十大限」。年屆 75 歲、實政圓桌唯一立法會議員田北辰，今午（20日）於政府總部門外宣布，來屆不參選，將交由其議員助理、政黨地區總幹事莊豪鋒出戰下屆地區直選；自己則續任政黨召集人。他說：「做人係咪應見好就收，趁仲有人跟你，可令你理念行多一步？」莊豪鋒表示，「壞孩子」形象不是政綱，「唔會盲撐，唔會盲反」，如不同意政策，會想替代方案。翻查資料，莊豪鋒兩區選兩敗，在去年被委任為屯門區議會交通運輸委員會增選委員。

立法會三組數據「歸零」折射議會生態 議員修訂銳減
As the term of the Seventh Legislative Council nears its end, this newspaper published a series of interviews with lawmakers last week. All praised the current legislature for returning to the right track and for positive executive-legislative interaction. Tik Chi-yuen of Third Side, who has announced that he will not seek re-election, also said it was better suited to the current legislative landscape. A comparison of data from the Legislative Council before and after the electoral system was improved shows that the current legislature has become markedly more efficient in scrutinising bills and more orderly: the numbers of quorum bell counts, adjourned meetings and occasions on which the president ordered lawmakers to leave have all fallen to zero.
Because the Sixth Legislative Council’s term was extended by one year after the 2020 election was postponed, while the Seventh Legislative Council still has one plenary meeting to hold, the two terms are based on different lengths of time, which should be noted when comparing the efficiency of bill scrutiny. The previous legislature went through the oath-taking controversy, legislation on the co-location arrangement and the anti-extradition bill events. Filibustering and physical clashes by the opposition were frequent, with the main battlegrounds being plenary meetings and the Finance Committee.
第七屆立法會會期進入尾聲，本報上周刊出議員訪談系列，各人齊聲稱讚本屆議會重回正軌，行政立法良性互動，連已宣布棄選的新思維狄志遠亦自言，較適合現今議會生態。從數據對比完善選制前後的立法會，本屆立法會明顯審議效率提升、秩序井然，響鐘點算法定人數、流會、主席趕議員離場次數全部「歸零」。
第六屆立法會由於2020年換屆選舉延期，任期延長一年，而第七屆尚有一次大會未進行，因此兩者任期基數不一，比對審議法案效率時要留意。上屆議會經歷宣誓風波、「一地兩檢」立法、反修例事件等，反對派拉布及肢體衝突不斷，主戰場是大會及財委會。

立法會取消惜別宴 陳克勤料不損行政立法關係 田北辰： 不太好
With one week remaining in the current LegCo term, Chief Executive John Lee had originally been scheduled to hold a farewell lunch with all Legislative Council members on Friday (17th), but its cancellation was announced yesterday (15th). DAB chairman Chan Hak-kan said today that he respected colleagues’ wish to devote their time to work in the legislature, and believed the cancellation would not affect executive-legislative relations. Roundtable convenor Michael Tien said it was difficult to judge whether everyone welcomed the gathering, but he felt that, as legislators, cancelling the meal with the Chief Executive “seemed not very good”.
本屆立法會會期還有一周就完結，行政長官李家超原定周五（17日）與全體立法會議員舉行「惜別午宴」，但昨日（15日）宣布取消。民建聯主席陳克勤今日回應稱，尊重同事想將時間放在議會工作的想法，相信取消午宴不會影響行政立法關係。實政圓桌召集人田北辰則表示，很難判斷是否所有人都歡迎聚餐，但他覺得作為議員，取消與特首聚餐「似乎不太好」。

立法會選舉｜棄選梁君彥：爭連任者無特別祝福 譚耀宗：行政立法榮辱與共
The Legislative Council’s wave of candidates dropping out of the election has not ended, with the nomination period beginning next Friday. The government held a seminar titled “The Executive and Legislature Work Together to Govern Hong Kong and Create the Future” today (16th). Leung Kwan-yuen, the 74-year-old Legislative Council president who has announced that he will not seek re-election, said that candidates seeking re-election in the new-term Legislative Council election would not receive any special blessings. Tam Yiu-chung, secretary-general of the Alliance for Hong Kong’s Resurgence, said that after patriots governed Hong Kong, the executive and legislature shared honour and disgrace. “If the government achieves results, the Legislative Council deserves credit; if it does not do well, I think the legislators have a responsibility.”
立法會「棄選潮」未完，提名期下周五開始，政府今日（16日） 舉行「行政立法同心治港創未來」研討會，已宣布「棄選」的74 歲立法會主席梁君彥表示，新一屆立法會選舉，爭取連任議員，不會有任何特別祝福。香港再出發大聯盟秘書長譚耀宗表示，愛國者治港後，行政立法關係榮辱與共。「政府做出成績，立法會有功勞，做得唔好，我覺得（議員）有責任喎。」

棄選立法會｜回應選舉「七殺令」 特首：都係佢哋個人選擇
The nomination period for the Legislative Council election does not begin until the 24th of this month, but a wave of withdrawals has already emerged. By last night (13th), at least 12 lawmakers had announced that they would not seek re-election, including seven veteran lawmakers aged over 70. Asked today (14th) whether the “over-70” threshold would be extended to other public office holders, including the Chief Executive and appointed officials, Chief Executive John Lee said the lawmakers who would not stand came from different age groups and had their own reasons. He added: “These are all their personal choices. I respect their decisions.”
立法會選舉提名期本月 24 日才開始，已爆出「棄選潮」，至昨晚（13日）有最少 12 名議員宣布不參選，當中有七人為為年過 70 歲的資深議員。行政長官李家超今（14日）被問及「年過 70 歲」界線會否延伸至其他公職人員，包括特首、委任官員等時，指表示不會參選的議員來自不同年齡組別、「有各自原因」，又指「呢啲都係佢哋個人選擇，我尊重佢哋決定」。

棄選立法會｜「棄選」雙料議員 冇人辭行會 可做到 2027 盤點行會議員年齡 逾半過七十
With the Legislative Council election approaching, 13 incumbent lawmakers have so far announced that they will not seek re-election for reasons including age, family and studies. Four of them—Christopher Cheung, Chan Kin-por, Jeffrey Lam and Martin Liao—are also non-official members of the Executive Council. The first three are over 70, while Liao is 68. Regina Ip, the 75-year-old convener of the Executive Council and chairwoman of the New People’s Party, has so far only said the matter would be “announced in due course” and asked reporters not to harass her, telling them to “move along” and “not block me from holding a meeting.”
Asked whether Executive Council members who are also Legislative Council lawmakers would need to be replaced if they did not stand for election, Chief Executive John Lee said the Legislative Council and Executive Council were different. The terms of Executive Council members run concurrently with the Government’s five-year term, until June 30, 2027, and “no Executive Council member has indicated an intention to resign before the completion of the term.”
Of the Executive Council’s 16 current non-official members, nine are over 70. The oldest is 80-year-old Arthur Li, who is serving his third term.
立法會選舉臨近，至今已有 13 名現屆議員，以年齡、家庭、學業等原因宣布不參選。棄選 13 人中，有四人包括張宇人、陳健波、林健鋒、廖長江身兼行政會議非官守成員的「雙料議員」。前三人年過 70 ，廖長江則已 68 歲。剩下 75 歲的行會召集人、新民黨主席葉劉淑儀，暫只說了句「適時公布」、請勿騷擾，叫記者「行開」，「唔好阻住我開會」。
身兼行會成員的立法會議員，若不參選是否需要換人？特首李家超指立法會與行政會議不一樣，行會成員任期與政府的五年任期一致，直至 2027 年 6 月 30 日，「冇行會成員表示打算在任期完成前辭任」。
盤點現時行會 16 名非官守成員中，有九人超過 70 歲，其中最年長是 80 歲、已任三屆的李國章。

棄選立法會・持續更新｜15 人宣布不角逐連任 選舉「七殺令」？ 還有四名逾七旬議員未表態
The nomination period for the Legislative Council election has not yet begun, but a wave of lawmakers announcing that they will not stand has already emerged. By Wednesday (15th), 15 lawmakers had announced that they would not contest the next Legislative Council election, citing reasons including age, family, the completion of a historic mission and further studies.

Two more people announced that they would not stand on Wednesday (15th), including Lam Shun-chiu of the Election Committee and Louis Hon Biu Loong of the real estate and construction sector.
As for Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, the 75-year-old chairwoman of the New People’s Party who told reporters on Monday to “go away” and “don’t get in the way of me holding a meeting”, she attended the Legislative Council meeting as usual on Wednesday, with a serious expression.
