THE diverse finance, insurance, real estate and business services functional constituency has forced candidates like Liberal Chan Yim-kwong to speak out for 'minority groups'.
In an attempt to reconcile voters from different fields with conflicting interests, Mr Chan has been trying to woo voters in the 170,000-strong constituency on economics-related livelihood issues such as improving the property market to help first-time flat buyers.
He also wants tax-free worker contributions for the Mandatory Provident Fund.
The new constituency ranges from security services, property management and public relations to computing, design and general clerks.
The smallest detail has caught his attention. He is supporting neglected security guards who face unsympathetic police treatment when they deal with errant drivers breaking barriers to avoid paying car-park fees.
Mr Chan said candidates were also struggling against a lack of information in the electoral roll on small firms, who comprise nearly a quarter of the electorate.
