Hong Kong election: Sweeping victory for pro-democracy camp | DW News

Pro-democracy supporters in Hong Kong are celebrating after securing a landslide victory in the 2019 municipal elections. The pro-democracy camp has won almost 390 council seats compared to less than 60 for pro-Beijing parties and now controls a majority of councils in the city. Hong Kong residents turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots in an election widely seen as a referendum on the pro-democracy movement after nearly six months of protests. Surprise victories for pro-democracy candidates against strongly favored opponents led to some voting centers erupting in loud cheers and chants of "Liberate Hong Kong. Revolution Now" — a phrase used by many protesters in recent months. City leader Carrie Lam said she would "listen humbly" to voters. Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutsche...
