A decision has yet to be made on whether Ken Tsang should be put forward in the social welfare functional constituency race
The Civic Party plans to field at least 10 candidates in the five geographical constituencies and the legal functional constituency in the coming Legislative Council elections, according to party chairwoman Audrey Eu Yuet-mee.
But it has held back on whether to support member Ken Tsang Kin-chiu, who wants to contest the social welfare functional constituency seat, pending more “assessment of the ever-changing situation”. It has also not yet made up its mind on whether to send a candidate to run for one of five “super seats”, which are returned by voters on a territory-wide basis.
The party passed the recommended lists at an extraordinary general meeting on Sunday.
Five of the six incumbent party legislators will run. Claudia Mo Man-ching and Joshua Li Chun-hei will run in Kowloon West constituency; Dr Kwok Ka-ki will lead Henry Sin Ho-fai in New Territories West, while Alvin Yeung Ngok-kiu will run in New Territories East.
Party leader Alan Leong Kah-kit will run in Kowloon East, with Jeremy Tam Man-ho leading the list.
Party vice-chairwoman Tanya Chan, who was a legislator between 2008 and 2012, will seek a return to Hong Kong Island with Cheng Tat-hung. incumbent Kenneth Chan Ka-lok will not seek another term.
