Chief Secretary John Lee called on electors to vote, noting that people who act against Hong Kong's interests will be excluded in the Legislative Council General Election under the principle of “patriots administering Hong Kong”.

Mr Lee made these remarks after voting this morning.

He said there were legislators who sabotaged the Legislative Council sessions and delayed the process of scrutinising legislation or funding applications in the past.

“So these people who had been excluded under the principle of 'patriots administering Hong Kong' will be trying their best to make today's election not a success.

“We have to ensure that they will not succeed so we will make the election a success. That is why we need to come out to vote.”
