Prior to the

Some of the HKPA LegCo candidates were persuaded to quit the election, in an attempt to enableDemocratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) candidates to stand a higher chances of obtaining LegCo seats. In response to this,David Chu Yu-lin , originally a candidate for the LegCo constituency of theNew Territories East, was replaced by Tso.
