CE congratulates candidates returned in Election Committee Subsector By-elections
*********************************************************************************
The 2025 Election Committee Subsector By-elections concluded successfully. On behalf of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), I extend my congratulations to all candidates returned to the Election Committee.
Comprising 1 500 members from 40 subsectors, the Election Committee is broadly representative and fulfils the principle of balanced participation. It plays a pivotal role in the HKSAR's improved electoral system and implementation of the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong". Members of the Election Committee will be responsible for nominating candidates for the general election of the eighth term Legislative Council, and electing 40 Legislative Council members in the Election Committee constituency on December 7, 2025. I expect every member of the Election Committee to fulfil their responsibilities dutifully and contribute to the steadfast and successful implementation of the "one country, two systems" principle.
I would like to thank all voters who participated in the By-elections for jointly electing patriots dedicated to building a better home for Hong Kong. I also extend my gratitude to all personnel within and outside of the Government involved in organising the By-elections for their dedicated efforts in ensuring the election was conducted in a fair, just, honest, smooth, safe and orderly manner.
