After 25 years in Hong Kong politics, DAB’s next goal is to produce future top officials
The city’s biggest pro-establishment party will put more resources into policy research, while drafting plans to groom talent
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, the city’s biggest pro-establishment party, is hoping to groom more political talent for the next decade, according to chairwoman Starry Lee Wai-king.
Lee’s comment came as the group celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Currently 117 district councillors and 12 lawmakers are members of the party.
“After 25 years of growth, I dare say we have done well in grooming talent to participate in politics,” Lee said.
She added that the goal of the party for the next decade was to train more political talent and pave the way for the implementation of universal suffrage for the city’s chief executive and Legislative Council elections.
