香港特区第七届立法会选举投票于2021年12月19日顺利结束,这是完善香港特区选举制度后的首次立法会选举。153名候选人竞选90个议席,包括选举委员会选举的议员40人、功能团体选举的议员30人和分区直接选举的议员20人。
第七届立法会任期自1月1日开始,任期4年。1月12日,第七届立法会将举行首次会议。
An oath-taking ceremony for the 90 lawmakers elected to the Legislative Council was held in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Monday.
The lawmakers took one by one the oath to uphold the Basic Law of the HKSAR and swear allegiance to the HKSAR after jointly singing the national anthem of China.
HKSAR's Chief Executive Carrie Lam chaired the ceremony.
These were the first lawmakers to be elected under the improved electoral system, and it was also the first time in the history of the HKSAR LegCo that they took an oath in front of the national emblem.
The Election Committee constituency (40 seats), functional constituencies (30 seats), and geographical constituencies (20 seats) elected all 90 lawmakers after over 1.35 million Hong Kong residents voted last month.
The new LegCo began its four-year term on Saturday and is expected to hold its first session on January 12.
