Democratic Party to Have No Seats Next Year; Lo Kin-hei Says No Member Proposed Disbanding
民主黨來年議席「清零」 羅健熙：無黨友提「摺埋」
The Democratic Party will have no seats in the new-term District Council, meaning it will have no seats in either of Hong Kong’s two councils next year for the first time since its founding in 1994. At the Democratic Party’s annual general meeting on Sunday (17th), chairman Lo Kin-hei said the party’s future was not discussed and no member proposed disbanding. He said most party members still hoped to maintain the party’s operations. He also said the Democratic Party would not dilute its position because the space for political participation had narrowed.
新一屆區議會民主黨議席「清零」，意味民主黨來年於兩級議會再無議席，為1994年創黨以來首次。民主黨周日（17日）召開周年大會，主席羅健熙稱會上未有討論民主黨前路，亦沒有黨員提議「摺埋」，引述普遍黨員稱仍希望維持黨務。他又指，民主黨未來不會因議政空間收窄，而淡化立場。
