A federal government spokesperson stated, “The seventh-term Legislative Council which is elected after the improvement of the electoral system, has successfully implemented the principle of “patriots administering Hong Kong”. Over the previous 4 years, it has quite kept useful interaction and co-ordination with the Government, exercising its constitutional functions through providing informative suggestions on policy matters to improve governance performance and to assist in social well-being and financial advancement, in addition to the excellent governance of the HKSAR. We encourge members of the general public to see the workshop for a much better understanding of the significance of Legislative Council Election and to take part actively in the Election to develop the future together.
