Democratic Party recommends eight for District Council election; Lo Kin-hei urges disclosure of "the three committees" members’ contact details
民主黨中委推薦8人參選區會 羅健熙促民政處公開三會成員聯絡方法
Nominations for the District Council election will open in the middle of next month. The Democratic Party’s Central Committee approved on Wednesday (20th) the recommendation of eight members to stand for election, understood to include its chairperson, Lo Kin-hei. Under the new electoral system, candidates must obtain nominations from "the three committees" members. Lo urged the Home Affairs Department to provide lists and contact details of "the three committees" members in each district, saying the department and the Electoral Affairs Commission both had a responsibility to make the relevant information public so that people intending to stand for election could contact nominators: “It is not only the Democratic Party that wants to stand for election; other members of the public may also have such aspirations.”
區議會換屆選舉下月中接受提名，民主黨中委會周三（20日）通過推薦8名成員參選，據了解包括主席羅健熙。在新選舉制度下，參選需要取得三會成員提名，羅健熙促民政處提供各區的三會成員名單、聯絡方法，指處方、選管會均有責任公開相關資料，讓有意參選人士能接觸提名人：「唔係淨係民主黨要去參選，其他市民都可能有咁嘅心願。」
