Legislative Council Election Forum | Candidates say TV forums were cancelled one after another this week because “other candidates would not attend”
立法會選舉論壇｜候選人指電視台約論壇 本周陸續通知取消 「因其他參選人唔到場」
For the Legislative Council election for the new term, only officially organised election forums have so far been held. The Ming Pao column “Lee Sin-chi Knows First” cited sources yesterday (12th) as saying that a television station’s planned forum had been called off. Independent candidate Jeffrey Chun Hung Chan, who attended the officially organised Kowloon East election forum this morning (13th), told reporters from The Collective that he had originally been invited by a television station to attend an election forum, but was informed early this week that it had been cancelled because there were “not enough people”. He said he felt helpless about the situation.
立法會換屆選舉，暫時只有官辧選舉論壇。《明報》李先知專欄昨（12日） 引述消息指，有電視台籌辦論壇被叫停。今早（13日）出席官辦九龍東選舉論壇的獨立參選人陳進雄，接受《集誌社》記者查詢時透露，原獲電視台邀請出席選舉論壇，至本周初獲告知，論壇「唔夠人」而取消，他對此感到無奈。
