Chief Executive John Lee encouraged electors to cast their votes in the 2023 District Council Ordinary Election scheduled to be held on December 10.

 

While fielding questions from reporters ahead of the Executive Council meeting this morning, Mr Lee explained why this particular election is so crucial.

 

“In regard to the District Council election, it is a very important election because it is an enhanced and improved electoral system, which will produce very hard-working District Council members who will really be attached to their districts and make district affairs good for the citizens of each district.

 

“Also, we will be ensuring that all these District Council members will be patriots, and will not betray the interests of Hong Kong and the country.”

 

Apart from stressing that he is sure that all those who now stand for the election have the heart and passion to do their job well, the Chief Executive emphasised that he has strong faith in their performance in due course.

 

“I encourage all citizens - all voters - to come out to vote on that day because you all live in one of the 18 districts and these 18 districts are our home. We all want to make this home a better place to live in,” he added.
