Elizabeth Wong Chien Chi-lien, a former senior official sitting on the pre-July 1 Legco with the highest count of votes, says it is too early to count her out after a year away from the political scene.
'I STILL want to work for Hong Kong. I am loyal to the city,' Libby Wong said from her home in Auckland, New Zealand, where she is helping to look after her newborn granddaughter.
Mrs Wong was born in China and came to Hong Kong at age 10 and spent more than 50 years here.
'I do not hold a New Zealand passport for the sake of political reasons. It is just because my husband is a citizen in New Zealand.
'I can still contribute in the political arena.' She might run in Urban Council polls next year. 'Hong Kong is my home,' she said.
Ousted from Legco last year, Mrs Wong did not run in the first SAR Legco election in May as candidates in geographical constituencies must not have foreign right of abode.
Only legislators in 12 functional constituencies are allowed foreign right of abode.
