廖成利議辦告別 指未來五年民協續參選 籲留港民主派一同等待機會
Neither of ADPL’s two candidates in this term’s District Council election held after the “improvements” managed to secure "the three committees" nomination and enter the race. With the District Council changeover approaching, ADPL chairman and Wong Tai Sin District Councillor Bruce Sing Lee Liu held a farewell ceremony at his councillor’s office on Friday (December 29). Saying “I’ll be back”, he said ADPL would transform into a “livelihood concern group” and already had a “five-year plan” to continue fielding candidates, stressing that “dissolution isn’t our option”.
Asked by The Independent Media why he was confident the government would again open participation to the pro-democracy camp, Bruce Sing Lee Liu said the political system was like a “pendulum”: “When it reaches one extreme, it will gradually move towards more reasonable arrangements.” He suggested that all democrats remaining in Hong Kong should “take their positions and do their best”, and await future opportunities together.
民協兩名參選人在今屆「完善」後的區議會選舉中，均未能取得「三會」提名入閘。區議會換屆在即，身兼黃大仙區議員的民協主席廖成利周五（12月29日）在其議員辦事處舉行告別禮，揚言「I’ll be back」，指民協將轉型「民生關注組」，並已有「五年計劃」，會繼續派員參選，強調「解散唔係我哋嘅選項」。
《獨媒》問到，為何會有信心政府會再度開放予民主派參選，廖成利指政治制度就如「鐘擺」，「去到一極嘅時候，慢慢就會去到較合理嘅安排」。他建議所有留港的民主派「各就各位、各盡所能」，一同等待未來的機會。

廖成利：民協已進入「沙漠階段」 有信心日後區選將開放泛民參與
The nomination period for the District Council elections ended yesterday, with the non-establishment camp entirely “zeroed out”. Two Association for Democracy and People’s Livelihood (ADPL) candidates were also unable to secure nominations from members of "the three committees" and enter the race. ADPL chairperson Bruce Sing Lee Liu said the ADPL had entered a “desert phase”, describing the current district administration as resembling Shenzhen’s system. However, Bruce Sing Lee Liu said they believed the system would eventually be opened to traditional pan-democrats at an appropriate time: “I have confidence in this.” Bruce Sing Lee Liu believed traditional pan-democrats could still take part in the Legislative Council election in two years’ time, while the ADPL would decide whether to contest it depending on the circumstances.
區議會選舉提名期昨日結束，非建制派全數「清零」，民協2名參選人同未能取得「三會」成員提名入閘。民協主席廖成利稱，民協已進入「沙漠階段」，形容現時的地區行政已如同深圳的系統，但相信在適當時候會將開放予傳統泛民參與，「呢個我有信心嘅」，認為傳統泛民仍可參加兩年後的立法會選舉，民協將視乎情況是否參選。

民協2人參選區議會 重申是愛國愛港政黨
The nomination period for the District Council elections following the “improvement” of the system will begin next Tuesday. The Association for Democracy and People’s Livelihood (ADPL) is fielding two candidates: incumbent Tuen Mun District Councillor Kenny Kai Lim Chow and secretary-general Wai Shing Kwok. They told InMedia that they had still not secured the agreement of members of “"the three committees"” to nominate them. Asked how they would convince members of “"the three committees"” that they were patriots, Wai Shing Kwok stressed that the ADPL itself is a patriotic, Hong Kong-loving political party, and that both Kenny Kai Lim Chow and Wai Shing Kwok are patriots.
「完善」後的區議會選舉提名期下周二開始，民協派出2人參選，包括現任屯門區議員周啟廉、總幹事郭偉誠。他們接受《獨媒》查詢時指，仍未獲「三會」成員答應提名。被問到如何說服「三會」成員自己是愛國者，郭偉誠強調，民協本身就是愛國愛港的政黨，自己與周啟廉亦是愛國者。
