A pro-democracy party in Hong Kong is set to wind up its operations amid an acute leadership crisis reportedly fueled by suppression from the pro-Beijing regime in the politically troubled former British colony.
Alan Leong Kah-kit, chair of the Civic Party, said the party faces an existential crisis since its foundation 16 years ago as none of its members came forward to file new nominations for its executive committee fearing repression from the authorities.
The reluctance of members to step up to leadership roles “did not come as a surprise,” said Leong, Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) reported on Dec. 5.
