Map of the winning party by constituency

The 2019 Hong Kong District Council elections were held on 24 November 2019 for all 18 District Councils of Hong Kong, the sixth such election being held since the 1997 handover. 452 seats from all directly elected constituencies were contested out of the 479 seats in total. Nearly three million voted, equivalent to 71 per cent of registered voters, which was a record turnout in the electoral history of Hong Kong. The election was widely viewed as a de facto referendum on the 2019 Hong Kong protests.

The pro-democracy camp achieved its biggest landslide victory in the history of Hong Kong, gaining control of 17 of the 18 District Councils and tripling their seats from around 124 to about 388. The pro-democrats was also able to capture 117 District Council subsector seats in the 1,200-member Election Committee, which is responsible for electing the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. Pro-Beijing parties and independents won only 62 seats, a loss of more than 242 seats.

All pro-Beijing parties suffered major setbacks, including the flagship pro-Beijing party Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), which received its largest defeat in history, losing nearly a hundred seats. Executive Councillor Regina Ip's New People's Party failed to obtain a single seat, and was completely removed from all District Councils as a result.

A dozen of prominent pro-Beijing heavyweights lost their campaigns for re-election, including Junius Ho, a controversial key anti-protest figure who had expressed support for the triads behind the 21 July Yuen Long mob attack. In contrast, many pro-democracy candidates who actively participated in the protests were elected, including convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) Jimmy Sham.

Boundary changes

In July 2017, following a review of the numbers of elected seats for each District Council having regard to local population forecasts, the Electoral Affairs Commission (EAC) proposed to create 21 new elected seats across 10 District Councils:

1. One new seat for each of Kowloon City, Yau Tsim Mong and Tsuen Wan District Councils;
2. Two new seats for each of Sham Shui Po, Kwai Tsing, Tuen Mun and Sai Kung District Councils;
3. Three new seats for each of Kwun Tong and Sha Tin District Councils; and
4. Four new seats for the Yuen Long District Council.

Accordingly, the total number of elected seats for the 2019 elections was increased by 21 from 431 to 452.

Gerrymandering concerns

Some pro-democracy District Councillors accused the EAC of gerrymandering, saying that the borders of their constituencies were altered "unreasonably" to adversely affect their parties' election prospects. EAC chairman Barnabas Fung responded that the changes were based purely on an objective calculation. "Factors with political implications would definitely not be taken into consideration," Fung said.

Background

Project Storm

In April 2017, Occupy Central co-founder Benny Tai proposed the "Project Storm" to win the majority of the District Council seats for the pro-democrats in the coming election. He stated that by winning a majority of the some 400 District Council seats, pro-democrats could gain an additional 117 seats of the District Council subsectors on the 1,200-member Election Committee which elects the Chief Executive. Tai believed that by making it harder for Beijing to manipulate in the Chief Executive election, it would compel Beijing to restart the stalled political reform after its restrictive proposal was voted down in 2015.

Power for Democracy, a group which coordinated different parties and groups in the pro-democracy camp worked with pro-democrats to find candidates for all 452 constituencies. The group also held rounds of non-binding primaries to select a candidate if more than one pro-democrat was interested in running in the same constituency. However, the camp still risked doubling up in about 30 constituencies.

Anti-extradition bill protests

Main articles: 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill and 2019 Hong Kong protests

In mid 2019, the Carrie Lam administration pushed forward the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 to establish a mechanism for transfers of fugitives not only for Taiwan, Mainland China and Macau, which are not covered in the existing laws for a homicide case in Taiwan. The proposed bill raised grave concerns from various sectors of the society including lawyers, journalists, businesses, as well as foreign governments, fearing the heightened risk that Hong Kong citizens and foreign nationals passing through the city, without the safeguards of the local courts, could be sent for trial to Mainland China, where courts are under Chinese political control.

Starting from June, rounds of demonstrations were attended by hundreds of thousands people forced the government to eventually suspend the bill, followed by Lam's announcement of the withdrawal in September. The pro-Beijing parties, who were among the strongest advocates of the bill, worried their support of the controversial bill as well as the abrupt U-turn would cost them votes in the upcoming District Council elections and the next year's Legislative Council election, risking a repeat of their devastating defeat in the 2003 District Council elections following the highly controversial national security legislation. Media reported that the government was looking into the possibility of cancelling polls in areas where serious protests were taking place, or even postponing the elections by invoking the Emergency Regulations Ordinance.

Registration drive

Registration drives are uncommon in Hong Kong, but campaigners have registered tens of thousands of new voters during mass protests against the controversial extradition bill, pouncing on an opportunity to bolster the democratic opposition's prospects in upcoming elections. The total number of registered electors for the 2019 elections grew unprecedentedly with over 386,000 newly registered electors, an election cycle record since the handover of Hong Kong. The number of registered electors between the ages of 18 and 35 alone has jumped more than 12 per cent compared to last year.

While the number of registered electors had been increasing steadily, large social movements and demonstrations have a tendency to spike registration. In 2004, 303,885 people had registered after half a million people took to the streets to protest against a government-proposed national security law based on Article 23 of the Basic Law. In 2015, 262,633 people registered as voters after the 2014 Occupy protests.

According to the Registration and Electoral Office (REO) under the EAC, the number of registered electors in the 2019 final registers is 4,132,977, also a record high since the handover of Hong Kong.

Nominations and disqualifications

An unprecedented 1,104 nomination forms were received by the Returning Officers in the two-week nomination period from 4 to 17 October, of which six nominees withdrew their candidatures before the end of the nomination period. It is the first time in history that all 452 District Council seats faced contests, compared to the previous elections in 2015 where 68 seats went uncontested.

At least four candidates, including Tommy Cheung Sau-yin, Mo Kai-hong, Liu Qing of the Democratic Party, and Billy Chan Shiu-yeung of the Community Sha Tin, received letters from Returning Officers asking them to explain what they meant by "Liberate Hong Kong, the revolution of our times", a popular slogan in the anti-extradition protests. Two other hopefuls also received letters asking for their stance on Hong Kong independence, including Demosistō secretary-general Joshua Wong who planned to run for South Horizons West. Wong was asked if he was running on behalf of his party Demosistō and if he supported the notion of "self-determination" for Hong Kong. Agnes Chow, a member of Demosistō, was earlier barred from running in the March 2018 Legislative Council by-election on the grounds that Demosistō advocated "self-determination". Henry Wong Pak-yu, who aimed for a seat in Tin Heng, was also questioned for his previous public pro-independence statement. Both Wongs denied they supported Hong Kong independence. Political scientist Ma Ngok warned that any disqualification would only fuel the ongoing political crisis. In light of the risk of being disqualified, Joshua Wong and at least 12 other pro-democracy candidates, including former student leader Lester Shum and pro-democracy legislator Eddie Chu, arranged for a backup candidate to stand in the same constituency before the nomination period ended as formers' candidacy had not yet been confirmed by the Returning Officers. Chu was previously disqualified from running in the January rural representative election by Returning Officer Enoch Yuen Ka-lok, citing his stance of supporting "self-determination".

More than ten days after the nomination period, acting Returning Officer Laura Liang Aron, who replaced Dorothy Ma Chau Pui-fun who took indefinite sick leave, barred Joshua Wong from running, making Wong the only pro-democrat to be disqualified due to his political stance in the election. Aron issued a six-page ruling noting that Wong dropped his advocacy of the option of independence as "a compromise, instead of a genuine intention" as Wong referred to President Xi Jinping's remarks on separatism as a "stern threat" and reason for him and Demosistō to give up the advocacy of independence. Wong said the Returning Officer's decision showed that the central government was manipulating the election, which was expected to be a key test of public sentiment about the protest movement. Kelvin Lam Ho-por, who stood in the same constituency, was widely believed to be Joshua Wong's substitute in case Wong was barred from running.

Pre-election events

2 November election rally

See also: List of November 2019 Hong Kong protests

More than a hundred pro-democracy candidates launched an election rally at Victoria Park on 2 November, testing the Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Conduct) Ordinance which allowed for election meetings to be held in public after the police rejected the organisers' initial application to hold a demonstration. Soon after the assembly started, the police quickly declared the rally an unauthorised assembly and dispersed attendees using tear gas, pepper spray, and water cannons. At least three pro-democracy election candidates, Osman Cheng Chung-hang, Richard Chan Chun-chit and Man Nim-chi, were seen being taken away by the police. During the operation, officers pepper-sprayed Chan to subdue him, prompting angry calls from rally-goers for his release. The protests continued with the clashes between the police and protesters, where protesters responded to the police crackdown by throwing petrol bombs, vandalising MTR stations and shops seen as sympathetic to the Beijing government, spraying graffiti and building barricades on streets, capping the 21st week of anti-government demonstrations.

Physical attacks on candidates

Many pro-democracy candidates were physically attacked in the run-up to the election. In late September, the Labour Party's Stanley Ho Wai-hong, running in the Pak Sha Wan constituency, was attacked by four men dressed in white, carrying metal rods. He suffered a head injury and fractures to both hands. On 16 October, Jimmy Sham, convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) and candidate for Lek Yuen constituency, was hospitalised after being attacked on Arran Street in Mong Kok by at least four men wielding hammers and spanners. Pro-democracy candidates Jocelyn Chau Hui-yan and Jannelle Rosalynne Leung, running for the City Garden and Yuet Wah seats respectively, were also attacked.

On 3 November, during a protest at Cityplaza, the Democratic Party's Andrew Chiu, defending his Tai Koo Shing West seat, was attacked by a pro-Beijing, Mandarin-speaking man with a knife when he tried to stop a fight after the attacker had assaulted several people. His left ear was partially bitten off by the attacker. He underwent ear reattachment surgery, which failed.

On the morning of 6 November, pro-Beijing Legislative Councillor Junius Ho was attacked by a man with a knife while campaigning for re-election to the Tuen Mun District Council in his Lok Tsui constituency. The attacker shouted abuse at Ho, accusing him of being involved in the 21 July attacks in Yuen Long, where Ho had previously been filmed praising the violent actions of white-clad counter-demonstrators. Ho received an injury to his chest and was later hospitalised. Ho's assistant and the attacker were also injured before the attacker was arrested.

Controversies

Alleged false claims of allegiance

There were several self-proclaimed pro-democratic candidates who were later found to be members of pro-Beijing groups and organizations, who contested the elections in the hope of snatching votes from legitimate pro-democratic candidates that were endorsed by the pro-democratic camp. For example, in the Tai Pat Tin East constituency, there was a minor candidate named Lau Hin-ming, who was ahead of the Democratic Party and Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) candidates. Lau used the "Liberate Hong Kong, the revolution of our times" slogan in his electoral messages, but was eventually found to be an member of an executive committee belonging to the Federation of The Youth Power of Kwai Tsing, a sub-group of the pro-Beijing Federation of New Territories Youth.

Some voters were found to have no knowledge about the candidates that they have nominated. For example, in the Lei Cheng Uk constituency, candidate Lam Ho-nam was ahead of Kong Kwai-sang from the pro-democratic Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood (ADPL) and Chan Keng-chau from the pro-Beijing Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong (BPA). Howewer, a voter who nominated Lam claimed that he had never actually intended to nominate him. Instead, he signed an endorsement for Chan Keng-chau because he was a member of the Lei Cheng Uk Resident Association, while Chan has been the chairman of the association. It was suspected that Chan had "transferred" the nomination to Lam, in the hope of decreasing the votes of Kong Kwai-sang.

Jinan University's alleged misuse of personal information

Apple Daily reported that they had received complaints from the students of Jinan University, who were requested by academic staff and counsellors to vote for pro-Beijing candidates, with them being promised free transportation if they do so. University staff members were able to locate the constituencies in which the students resided in.

Alleged illegal transportation for voters

Apple Daily also reported that Wong Yiu-chung, a pro-Beijing candidate from the BPA who was contesting the election for the Wah Lai constituency, had offered free coach rides to voters as an incentive to vote for him. The coaches were adorned with posters of Wong, and potentially constitutes an illegal election-related expense.

Stand News reported that in the Fu Tai constituency, there were so-called voluntary coach services offered to elderly voters by pro-Beijing parties. Some voters reported the services were offered by Manwell Chan, a pro-Beijing Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (HKFTU) candidate, and also stated that they were asked to vote for Chan in exchange for said ride.

The elections to the District Councils of Hong Kong were held during the weekend, in which for the first time since the protests begun, no outbreaks of violence were reported. As the District Councils are the only governmental body chosen by full universal suffrage, the election was widely described as a proxy referendum over the protest movement's demands. 2.94 million out of 4.13 million registered voters have turned out to vote, including many first-time voters, representing a record turnout of over 71 per cent. The turnout was so large that reports emerged that some voters waited in line for more than an hour to cast their votes.

The pro-democrats achieved their biggest landslide victory in Hong Kong's history, taking control of 17 of the 18 District Councils of Hong Kong, tripling their number of seats from about 124 to around 388, and have also managed to capture 117 seats in the District Council subsectors of the Election Committee, which is vested with the power to elect the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. The pro-democracy camp's upset victory has also discredited the government's often-used argument that it allegedly had the support of a silent majority of voters on the ongoing anti-government protests. Pro-democracy District Councillor Lo Kin-hei called the vote in effect a “vote of no-confidence” in the political establishment, Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam, and high-profile Chinese officials such as Zhang Xiaoming, head of the State Council’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office.

Parties belonging to the pro-Beijing camp and independents won only 62 seats in the District Councils, a loss of a total of 242 seats. The main pro-Beijing party Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) received its largest defeat in history, losing nearly a hundred seats, while Regina Ip's New People's Party was completely removed from power, losing all of their representation in the District Councils. While DAB chairwoman Starry Lee narrowly managed to fend off her main pro-democratic challenger Leung Kwok-hung, her nine fellow pro-Beijing legislators and heavyweights such as Junius Ho, Horace Cheung, Michael Tien, Holden Chow, Lau Kwok-fan, Luk Chung-hung and Alice Mak suffered catastrophic defeats in their constituencies.

Many pro-democratic candidates who actively participated in the protests also scored victories. Jimmy Sham, the convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front which organised June's million-strong peaceful marches, who was later attacked by thugs and hospitalised, won a seat in Lek Yuen. Democratic Party's Andrew Chiu who had his ear bitten off was re-elected in Tai Kook Shing West, while Jocelyn Chau, 23, who was not only hospitalised after being assaulted and also arrested on the campaign trail, defeated the long-time pro-Beijing incumbent Hui Ching-on in City Garden. The "airport uncle" Richard Chan, who tried to calm police during August's airport occupation and was pepper sprayed in the face by riot police in 2 November election rally and arrested while campaigning, won his seat in Lam Tsuen Valley in Tai Po.

Other prominent pro-democracy activists, including Tommy Cheung Sau-yin, a former student leader who was among nine Umbrella movement activists convicted for public nuisance for his part in the 2014 Occupy protests earlier this year. Another former student leader Lester Shum, a key figure in the 2014 Occupy protests, won in Hoi Bun in Tsuen Wan. Kelvin Lam, Joshua Wong's last-minute substitute after he was barred from running, won the seat of South Horizons West.
