民主黨將下調中委下限人數至10人 羅健熙料有足夠人數參選
The current term of the Democratic Party’s Central Committee ends at the end of this year. The party will hold a special general meeting of members and its annual general meeting on the 3rd of next month to elect its chairperson, vice-chairperson and Central Committee. Speaking at a press conference today, chairman Lo Kin-hei said the meetings would decide to amend the minimum number of Central Committee members, lowering it from 15 to 10. He reiterated that his decision to seek re-election as chairman remained unchanged, and believed that even if he were convicted of the offence of unlawful assembly on the 30th of this month, it would not affect the voting in the election.
民主黨現屆中央委員會的任期今年年底結束，將於下月3日舉行特別會員大會及周年大會，改選正副主席及中委會。主席羅健熙今出席記者會時談及改選進展，他表示屆時會議決修改「中央委員會人數下限」，由15人下降至10人，並重申競逐連任主席的決定無變，相信即使本月30日被判非法集結罪成，仍不會影響改選投票。
