Carrie Lam's govt suffered crushing defeat in community-level elections held Sunday. FMTNews HK HongKong
HONG KONG: Hong Kong’s unpopular leader Carrie Lam said on Monday her government would “listen humbly” to the public after voters dealt a humiliating election setback to the Beijing-backed establishment she heads.
Hong Kong’s pro-democracy camp scored a crushing victory in community-level elections held on Sunday, a result that made clear the level of public support for the demands of a protest movement that has thrown the territory into turmoil. She has previously rejected the demands as “wishful thinking” and repeatedly suggested the ballot would show most Hong Kongers supported her administration and an end to the protests.She also acknowledged that the result has sparked discussion of the fact “citizens are dissatisfied with the current social situation and … deep-seated problems”, without going into details.
