The Democratic Party leadership election was held on 1 December 2002 for the leadership including chairman, two vice-chairman posts and 27 members of the 5th Central Committee of the Democratic Party in Hong Kong. Incumbent Vice-Chairman was elected as Chairman uncontestedly, succeeding founding Chairman Martin Lee Chu-ming.

Eligibility

The Central Committee was elected by the party congress. All public office holders, including the members of the Legislative Council and District Councils, are eligible to vote in the party congress. Every 30 members can also elect a delegate who holds one vote in the congress.^[1]

Overview

Founding Chairman Martin Lee stepped down according to the four-term limit. There was only Yeung Sum's team contested for the posts. Yeung Sum received 121 votes for and 9 votes against, 2 more votes against him than Martin Lee in 2000. Albert Ho Chun-yan and Lee Wing-tat elected as Vice-Chairmen, receiving 132 and 129 votes of confidence respectively.^[2] Albert Chan Wai-yip, the party's legislator for the New Territories West constituency quit the party as he said he would if Yeung Sum became Chairman.
