Deliberation Tsuen Wan (Chinese: 荃民議政) is a local political group based in Tsuen Wan founded in 2019. In a historic pro-democracy landslide in 2019 District Council election, the group won two seats in the Tsuen Wan District Council.
History
Deliberation Tsuen Wan was formed in 2019 ahead the 2019 District Council election by a group of Tsuen Wan residents. The group co-ogranised the Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing march on 25 August 2019 amid the anti-extradition bill protests.[1] After the police fired tear gas at the protesters, the group organised volunteer cleaners to wash off the tear gas residue at the market in Yeung Uk Road, fearing the chemicals would poison the food there.[2]
The group filled three candidates in the 2019 election, with Jackson Lau contesting in Tak Wah, Tam Pui-yan in Tsuen Wan Rural and Lau Cheuk-yu challenging legislator Michael Tien in Discovery Park. Jackson Lau and Lau Cheuk-yin were successfully elected, with Tam losing to incumbent Norris Ng with narrow margin of votes.
