Six people who backed Leung Chun-ying in the vote for chief executive won trade-based seats, including two previously held by legislators who supported Henry Tang Ying-yen in the chief executive election.

Four others were returned unopposed.

The "Tang Camp", seen as representing powerful figures in the last administration, holds nine trade-based seats, eight of which it won unopposed.

Pan-democrats grabbed six functional constituency seats, two more than last time.

The six winners in the "Leung Camp" - Steven Ho Chung-yin (agriculture and fisheries); Christopher Cheung Wah-fung (financial services); Lo Wai-kwok (engineering); Tony Tse Wai-tsuen (architectural, surveying and planning); Yiu Si-wing (tourism); and Ma Fung-kwok (sports, performing arts, culture and publication) - either nominated or voted for Leung in the election in March.

Cheung said the Legco election result had nothing to do with him switching his support to Leung at the last minute in March. "As long as we are united under a Hong Kong camp, we can do some good for the economy", he said.
