Pro-democracy Hong Kong vote

mercredi 27 novembre 2019 à 01:00

Pro-democracy candidates swept the elections for Hong Kong local councils. Supporters of China's power won 10% of the seats.

I've been told that 57% of the votes were for pro-democracy candidates, according to this article.

Now it is clear that the people of Hong Kong mostly agree with the protesters. Can anyone find out what fraction of votes were for the pro-democracy candidates?

I've read that these local councils choose some of the territory's legislature, too. So the consequences could be significant.
