Letters | Legislative Council elections: let the race begin for future leaders to reach out to Hongkongers
- Candidates and Election Committee members should start reaching out through, for example, platforms and seminars, and be given a chance for live broadcast dialogues with government officials
For this, it is necessary for our governance team to have a wealth of grass-roots work experience and a good understanding of all classes and sectors. Office holders also need to have the sensitivity as well as practical solutions to deep-seated problems, to protect the fundamental interests and rights of Hongkongers, improve livelihoods and promote social progress.
For potential candidates, no matter which group you are running for, please reach out to as many sectors as possible in our community. Frequent contact would let citizens truly feel and realise that the political system is changing and get to know those who may lead Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, Election Committee members should set up platforms and seminars in various districts, and hear directly from Hongkongers on their needs and requests. After all, Election Committee members will play a role in nominating all Legco candidates and elect from among themselves 40 suitable Legco candidates.
