New Legislative Council member Guan Haoming expressed his gratitude to the general public of Hong Kong and the election committee for giving him the opportunity to serve Hong Kong. It is a feature of the seventh Legislative Council that many "plain people and newcomers" serve as members. Both "veteran" and "newcomer" have the same goal in participating in the Legislative Council, that is, to serve Hong Kong. He will also resign from the church and focus more on the work of the Legislative Council. "This year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. As long as everyone works with one heart and one mind, adheres to the original intention of 'one country, two systems' and works together, Hong Kong will reach another peak." After taking the oath, the honourable Miss Emily Lee, chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the betterment of Hong Kong, said that the Legislative Council had finally returned to the right track! I am very grateful to the central government for its assistance at the most difficult time in Hong Kong to promote Hong Kong's national security law and improve Hong Kong's electoral system, so that Hong Kong can implement the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong". She will work with all sectors of society to improve governance and bring more people's voices into the Legislative Council and the executive. Eager and confident According to the agenda, the seventh Legislative Council will elect a new president on January 10. On January 12, the seventh Legislative Council will hold its first meeting. Many members are ready to implement the policy agenda of the election and honor the solemn oath of the oath. The community is also full of confidence in the new Legislative Council. At the launching ceremony of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Hong Kong Democratic Alliance for betterment of Hong Kong held on New Year's day, the newly elected members of the Democratic Alliance for betterment of Hong Kong issued a declaration, vowed to be a firm patriot, a defender of "one country, two systems", a builder of good governance and a promoter of social change, and formulated detailed future key work, including performing their duties in the Legislative Council, putting forward practical policy initiatives Do a good job in national security and social stability, strengthen talent training, etc. The 90 candidates for the seventh Legislative Council stand out from 153 candidates.

The general public believes that members of Parliament will demonstrate the strong vitality of the democratic system with Hong Kong characteristics under "one country, two systems", promote Hong Kong's social development and progress, and safeguard Hong Kong's overall long-term interests and the fundamental well-being of its citizens. "Members of Parliament solemnly swear that they have once again given us' reassurance '." Chen Xinjun, a Hong Kong citizen, said that for a long time before, there had been frequent chaos in the Legislative Council, and Hong Kong had lost many development opportunities. In this election, the "gentleman's dispute" among the candidates has made the neighbors full of confidence and expectations for the relationship between the executive and Legislature under the new electoral system. I believe that the new term of parliamentarians will work with the SAR government and all sectors of society to solve the outstanding economic and livelihood problems in Hong Kong and create a better tomorrow for Hong Kong.
