Veteran politician Selina Chow Liang Shuk-yee is poised to become the next chairwoman of the Liberal Party.

Lawmaker James Tien Pei-chun said the nominations for the party's election close on Saturday and a result is expected to be announced the same day.

Chow, the current vice-chairwoman, and lawmakers Vincent Fang Kang and Chung Kwok-pan form the only slate to be nominated so far, with Fang and Chung running for vice-chairmen.

Chow was a lawmaker for 23 years before losing her seat in the Legislative Council elections four years ago. She also served as an executive councillor for five years from 2003.

She said she hopes to boost the party's community networks if she is successfully returned.

"The Liberal Party's affairs, including the [management of] district works, needs someone to concentrate on them … it was hard to do in the past," Chow said. "I hope to bring experienced and young members together and work on it. This would benefit the party's development as well."
