A FORMER district board member who tried to kill herself two months ago is to conduct a telephone poll on whether she should still stand for election next year.
Peggy Ha Ving-vung fears her high-profile suicide attempt may have turned voters against her.
'I need to know whether they think that if I'm too emotional in dealing with my private affairs, the same might apply when serving the public,' she said.
The former head of district affairs organisation for the United Democrats - now merged with Meeting Point to form the Democratic Party - Ms Ha had been confident of winning a seat in next March's Urban Council election.
She now says her suicide attempt has reduced her chances to 50-50.
Ms Ha hit the headlines in August after trying to kill herself by drinking disinfectant, amid reports of a love triangle.
