Hey amigos! 🎉 Fresh off the polls, Hong Kong's eighth-term Legislative Council (LegCo) is gearing up to kickstart a new chapter of development and reform. On Tuesday, outgoing LegCo president Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen joined current and incoming members at a press briefing to share his vision for the road ahead.
The election over the weekend saw 50 returning members and 40 first-timers earn seats. Leung says this mix of veterans and newcomers will inject fresh energy into the HKSAR government's plans, thanks to the strong momentum from the "patriots administering Hong Kong" principle.
"This collaboration will drive reforms and unlock greater development," Leung said, encouraging re-elected lawmakers to mentor first-time legislators as they step into their new roles.
The eighth-term LegCo will officially start its four-year term on January 1, 2026. As the countdown begins, all eyes are on how this fresh lineup will shape policies, boost economic growth, and strengthen Hong Kong's position on the world stage. Stay tuned! 🌟
