The fate of several leading politicians hangs in the balance as campaigning for the first SAR legislative council election comes to a close.
While election watchdog chairman Mr Justice Woo Kwok-hing and senior officials appealed to voters to cast their ballots tomorrow, latest polls showed a seat for Liberal Party chief Allen Lee Peng-fei was far from certain.
Also facing struggles for survival were chairman of the Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood (ADPL) Frederick Fung Kin-kee, Citizens Party chairman Christine Loh Kung-wai and Lee Cheuk-yan of The Frontier.
According to the University of Hong Kong's Social Sciences Research Centre, Mr Lee still has a battle on his hands with Cyd Ho Sau-lan of The Frontier and Lau Kong-wah of the DAB for the fifth New Territories West seat. The centre predicted DAB chairman Tsang Yok-sing, who has been trailing in Kowloon West, would get a seat as his support was increasing.
A separate poll conducted by the Lingnan College between Monday and Thursday also found support for Mr Tsang's DAB team was less than one point behind that of the ADPL ticket led by Mr Fung, with 14.4 per cent and 15.1 per cent respectively.
Lingnan College's research centre predicted a turnout of 31.7 per cent in tomorrow's elections.
