成立17年公民黨清盤解散 梁家傑寄語港人「活好當下,期待明天」
The Civic Party, which had a 17-year history, held a special general meeting today and passed a resolution to wind up and dissolve, with 30 votes in favour and one abstention. The Civic Party was once the second-largest pro-democracy party. Recalling the party’s history, chairman Alan Leong said it had advocated democracy and the rule of law since its establishment and had experienced major political ups and downs. With the support of Hongkongers, it won more than 70 seats in total across multiple Legislative Council and District Council elections. Quoting a line from the Bible, he said, “I have kept the faith,” and told Hongkongers to “face the present with optimism, live well in the present and look forward to tomorrow.”
有17年歷史的公民黨今召開特別會員大會,以30票贊成、1票棄權通過清盤解散。公民黨曾為民主派第二大政黨,主席梁家傑憶述,公民黨成立以來一直倡議民主法治,經歷政治大起大落,幸得港人支持,在立法會及區議會多屆選舉中合共贏取70多個議席。他引述《聖經》金句指「所信的道我已經守住了」,寄語港人「抱著樂觀的心,活好當下,期待明天」。

公民黨斷莊最快一年内清盤
The Civic Party held its annual general meeting today. Party chairman Alan Leong said that, with no one standing for election to the executive committee, the party was in a situation where no executive slate had been formed. The existing executive committee will transition into an interim executive committee, and he believed the party was highly likely to begin winding up gradually within a year. Several veteran Civic Party members attended the meeting. Former Legislative Council member Margaret Ng said the party had accomplished many of the things it needed to do and that, “whatever happens today, those things cannot be erased.” She also said the party could not be too ambitious and should “do as much as we can.”
公民黨今日召開周年大會,黨主席梁家傑指無人參選執委,即處於「斷莊」,現有執委會將過渡成臨時執委會,相信很有可能一年內逐步進行清盤。多名公民黨元老出席大會,前立法會議員吳靄儀提到,公民黨已完成許多應做的事,「無論今日發生咩事,都唔可以將嗰啲事抹殺」,又認爲不能夠太貪心,「做到幾多得幾多。」

公民黨斷莊 最快2月開大會表決清盤
The nomination period for the Civic Party’s executive committee election ended yesterday. Civic Party chairman Alan Leong said no valid nomination forms had been received, “meaning that the succession will come to an end”. Under the party’s constitution, it must form an interim executive committee to exercise the executive committee’s powers over the coming year, including deciding whether to wind up the party. Following a resolution at a special general meeting, the Civic Party, founded in 2006, will formally enter the winding-up process. Leong said plainly that his generation had completed its mission.
公民黨執委會換屆改選提名期昨日屆滿,公民黨主席梁家傑稱無收到有效提名表格,「意味將會斷莊」,按照黨章程序,該黨需成立臨時執委會,在未來一年內行使執委會權力,包括決定清盤,經過特別會員大會決議後,2006年創黨的公民黨,將正式進入清盤程序。梁家傑明言,他這一代已完成任務
