More than 610,000 vote in Hong Kong’s pro-democracy opposition primary elections
More than 610,000 people took part in a two-day primary election organised by Hong Kong’s opposition parties on July 11-12, 2020. The election saw traditional pan-democrats pitted against localist challengers to determine which candidates will get their names on tickets in Legislative Council elections scheduled for September 6. The vote comes less than two weeks after China’s central government enacted a controversial national security law for Hong Kong.
