Legislator Starry Lee Wai-king has become a vice-chairwoman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, a sign that the leadership of the city's biggest political party is passing to a new generation.
The 37-year-old Kowloon West lawmaker was elected one of the four deputy leaders during the inaugural meeting of the DAB's new central committee. 
Previous incumbent Carson Wen Ka-shuen stepped down and did not run for the 50-member central committee.
Lee is the second vice-chairwoman of the pro-Beijing party, alongside incumbent Ann Chiang Lai-wan.  
The other three incumbent leaders - chairman Tam Yiu-chung, vice-chairman Lau Kong-wah and Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan - were re-elected in the two-yearly leadership reshuffle. 
Lee's election marks a further step for the DAB's younger generation in taking the reins of the party after Young DAB chairman Horace Cheung succeeded lawmaker Ip Kwok-him as vice-chairman in the previous  leadership election in 2009. Cheung was aged 34 at the time.
Legco president Tsang Yok-sing, former chairman of  the DAB's predecessor party, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, earlier expressed support for Lee. 
'It is good if she can join the leadership. She is young and professional and has substantial experience of political participation,' he said on  Saturday as the party  elected its central committee.
Lee, an accountant, was the youngest district councillor in 1999, when she won the district poll in Wong Tai Sin  at the age of 25. She became a lawmaker in the 2008 Legco election.
A 20-member standing committee - comprising the core leaders - was also elected last night. Besides Wen, deputy secretary general Albert Wong Shun-yee  also stepped down. 
A person close to the DAB said Central and Western district councillor Chan Hok-fung,  34, was elected to the post.  
Of the 50-member central committee, 10 are new candidates, including seven district councillors.
