The 2020 Hong Kong Legislative Council election is scheduled on 6 September 2020 for the 7th Legislative Council of Hong Kong (LegCo). A total of 70 members, 35 from geographical constituencies (GCs) and 35 from functional constituencies (FCs), will be returned.

Background

Anti-extradition protests and District Council landslide

In mid 2019, the Carrie Lam administration push for an amendment of the extradition law created an unprecedented political crisis in Hong Kong.[1] More than a million people marched against the bill in mid June and resulted in violent clashes between the police and the protesters outside the Central Government Complex on 12 June.[2]

The protests dragged on and escalated as Carrie Lam refused to fully withdraw the bill, resulting in huge anti-government sentiment that projected on the November District Council election, where the pro-Beijing parties suffered historic defeat, costing them about two third of the seats. The pro-democrats jumped from around 124 to about 388 seats and took control of 17 of the 18 District Councils as a result.[3]

The stunning results greatly boosted the morale of the pro-democrats who turned their eyes on a majority of the Legislative Council in 2020 election. Benny Tai, initiator of the 2014 Occupy protests, suggested the chance of the pro-democrats winning more than half of the seats to block the government's bills including the expected legislation of the Article 23 of the Basic Law and pressured the government to implement the five key demands of the protest movement. He also initiated "ThunderGo plan 2.0", which mirrored his coordinating mechanism of "smart voters" in the 2016 election to strategic voting in order to increase the chance of the pro-democracy candidates.[4]

Beijing's new officials in Hong Kong

In early 2020, the central government suddenly shuffled the personnels and organisations of its representative organs in Hong Kong by replacing the China's Liaison Office in Hong Kong director Wang Zhimin with former Communist Party secretary in Shanxi Luo Huining and Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office director Zhang Xiaoming with former Communist Party secretary in Zhejiang Xia Baolong, with Luo becoming his deputy.[5] Political analysts speculated that one of the key tasks for Luo and Xia was to make sure that the pro-Beijing camp would continue to hold the majority in the legislature in the coming election.[6]

The two Beijing's agencies in Hong Kong had been unusually outspoken, going on offensive by urging the Hong Kong government for implement new national security law to safeguard national security, signalling the need for reintroducing the Article 23 legislation.[7] In mid April, the two offices also strongly condemned pro-democrat legislator Dennis Kwok for filibustering in the legislature's House Committee. It also rejected the claim that they had breached the Article 22 of the Basic Law which stated that "no department of the Central People’s Government and no province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government" shall interfere in Hong Kong affairs. Instead it claimed that the offices had the responsibility and right to "supervise" how "One Country, Two Systems” was implemented in Hong Kong. The offices' statements contradicted the previous common understanding on the provision among Hong Kong officials, politicians and legal experts, which resulted in the Hong Kong government's abrupt revisions of its statement twice within hours in order to align with Beijing's stance.[8]

Coronavirus outbreak

The months-long anti-government protests and the alleged initial mishandling of the coronavirus outbreak cost Carrie Lam's substantial public support. A Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute survey in late January found 75 per cent of respondents were dissatisfied with the government's response to the outbreak, while Lam's support rating sunk to nine per cent in late February, the lowest on record for any leader.[9][10] In February 2020, a confidential report by Carrie Lam to the central government revealed that Lam's attempt to win back the public trust and support by effectively handling the coronavirus outbreak in which she believed would serve as a political turnaround for the coming election.[11]

On 5 May, two former Chief Executives Tung Chee-hwa and Leung Chun-ying launched a pro-Beijing alliance Hong Kong Coalition.[12] The alliance was co-sponsored by 1,545 representatives of various sectors including senior politicians, former government officials, university heads and tycoons. It said it aimed to "get Hong Kong start again" by boosting the declining economy and uniting the divided society. It also announced to give away 10 million face masks across all 18 districts of Hong Kong.[13] Political scientist Ivan Choy believed the alliance was set up as a part of the electioneering of the pro-Beijing camp in the coming election and to support Beijing's Hong Kong policy.[14]

National security legislation

In May 2020, the Beijing authorities initiated a plan for implementing the national security law for Hong Kong which would prominently criminalise "separatism, subversion, terrorism and foreign interference", which many interpreted as a crackdown on civil liberties, government critics, and the independence movement.[15] Pro-democracy camp and various national governments expressed concern that the Chinese plans would undermine Hong Kong autonomy and the "One Country, Two Systems" principle. Civic Party leader Alvin Yeung said the details of the legislation show "Beijing's power is stabbing right into Hong Kong's judicial and administrative organs like a sword." He warned that "Hong Kong’s worst nightmare has been mapped out" and added that the lack of details on specific criminal actions was "extremely worrying." The NPC approved the Chinese plans on 29 May 2020 and the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) subsequently convened for drafting the details of the law.[16]

In June, Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang suggested that anyone who opposed the coming national security law would be disqualified from September's Legislative Council elections. He stressed that it is everyone's duty to safeguard national security, and the imposition of security laws "is only natural". Alvin Yeung described Tsang's comments as a form of "illogical and irresponsible intimidation" to the potential opposition candidates.[17] Hong Kong's delegate on NPCSC Tam Yiu-chung said failure to comply the new law could result in the disqualification of a candidacy. "This request is sensible and reasonable. As a LegCo member, you are part of the establishment," Tam said. "There is no reason for you to oppose the 'one country' [principle] or harm the national security... or to incite others to split the country."[18]

On 30 June, the NPCSC unanimously passed the national security law without fully disclosing the content of the law. Hours after the news, leading members of the Demosistō Joshua Wong, Nathan Law, Agnes Chow and Jeffrey Ngo announced their departure from the party. The party subsequently announced it would disband on the same day, saying that the resignation of several key members in light of the national security law made it difficult for them to continue their operations.[19] Former Demosistō chairman Nathan Law who stood in the pro-democracy primaries had to flee Hong Kong and dropped out from the race in response to the security law.[20][21]

Pro-democracy primaries

Organised by Benny Tai and former legislator Au Nok-hin and conducted by Power for Democracy, the pro-democracy primaries were held on 11 and 12 July. A total number of 52 people candidates from all over the spectrum in the pro-democracy movement participated in the primaries.[22] Over 590,000 electronic ballots and more than 20,000 paper ballots were recorded throughout the two-day vote, more than 13 per cent of the total number of registered voters and far exceeding the organisers' expected turnout of 170,000 despite the security law and legal threats.[23]

Traditional pro-democrat parties lost grounds to the localist new faces, with many veteran democrats performed much worse than expectation. Democratic Party incumbent Helena Wong only came seventh in her Kowloon West constituency and former legislator "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung of the League of Social Democrats managed only ninth place in New Territories East for which only the top seven candidates would run in the general election.[24] Incumbent legislator Joseph Lee of the Health Services constituency also lost to Winnie Yu of the labour union Hospital Authority Employees Alliance. With many new face localists emerged on top, an unofficial six-person alliance led by former Demosistō secretary-general Joshua Wong, incumbent legislator Eddie Chu and endorsed by withdrawn candidate Nathan Law, became the biggest winner with all of them coming either top or second in their respective constituencies.[24]
