Congratulations to millions of Hong Kongers for delivering a humiliating rebuke at the polls today to Beijing & its puppet government there. Onus is now on General Secretary Xi to resolve stand-off peacefully & consistent with Beijing’s promises. https://t.co/3MasO05Jux

Already broke the record by now in terms of voter turnout %. But will we be able to witness a 3 MILLION vote count in the end? (That will require 72.59%.) Please ask all your friends and family to cast their ballots if they haven’t already done so.

I'm confident you will. You prove 2 the world you are peaceful🇭🇰ers who want🇨🇳2 deliver its promises 2🇭🇰. When🇨🇳reneges & Commissar Lam uses @hkpoliceforce 2 violate human & civil rights, you rise up 2 defend your rights. When elections are allowed, you massacre them electorally.

Lord Alton of Liverpool is in Hong Kong today as part of a team of independent election monitors. Citing the high turnout in the early hours of today, his assessment is “so far, so good”

I also asked him whether he feels the British government has done enough to help Simon Cheng

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

A self-proclaimed Chinese spy has made explosive claims that Beijing used an alleged “front” company in Hong Kong to infiltrate universities, interfere in elections in Taiwan and buy political influence in Australia https://t.co/M5lUwxzNyH

[Agnes Chow 周庭 @chowtingagnes]

警察の封鎖によって、理工大学にはまだ閉じ込められたままの若者がいます。そして、まだ多くの人たちが警察の暴力や政府の弾圧によって苦しんでいます。結局、香港は民主的な場所じゃないですから、政府は引き続き市民の民意を無視することができるのです。

これからも5大要求を求め続けます。

[Agnes Chow 周庭 @chowtingagnes]

区議会選挙が終わりました。294万人以上が投票し、投票率は71.2%、香港の史上最高記録でした。

これまで親中派が議席を独占してきた区議会が、今回の政治的な意味を持つ選挙になったことによって、452議席のうち388席を民主派が占めました。だけど、これは決して運動の勝利ではありません。→

As of 9:15 am Sunday, the line waiting to vote outside a polling station in Fortress Hill has stretched for more than 300 meters. It’s so long that I couldn’t even capture the whole queue in this time-lapse video. #HongKong #HongKongElection

[Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 😷 @joshuawongcf]

Judy Chan was once a rising star in the New People’s Party (which fielded 28 contenders & lost 28 races). She was Regina Ip’s designated successor. Last year she lost the Hong Kong Island LegCo by-election to @chowtingagnes’s backup candidate; this year she lost to mine. Goodbye!

[Solomon Yue @SolomonYue]

It is a long struggle for freedom. But you can do it.

[Niko Grünfeld @nikogrunfeld]

Protesters in Hong Kong have been portrayed as "spoiled kids" but today's peacefulness election tells me: Give people an effective way to express themselves and they will not answer with violence but with peace. First sunday for months without teargas! #StandWithHongKong #dkpol

Breaking News: Hong Kong's pro-democracy candidates won a stunning victory in local elections that drew a record turnout, in a sharp rebuke of Chinese policies https://t.co/33QEVdixjI

[Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 😷 @joshuawongcf]

Almost 3 million people voted. The opposition is winning 388 seats vs. 59 for the gov't (w/ a few more counting). Every way you look at it, this is historic. As our city plummets from being semi-autonomous to semi-authoritarian, we react by showing what’s DEMOCRACY IN ACTION.

[Kevin McCarthy @SpeakerMcCarthy]

With their vote, the people of Hong Kong delivered a strong rebuke of the authoritarian policies of Beijing. They came out in record numbers, nearly double the last election, to support pro-democracy candidates. When people have a choice, they will always choose freedom.

[Ramy Inocencio @RamyInocencio]

BREAKING: Pro-Beijing Hong Kong lawmaker Junius Ho loses re-election bid. He was reviled by the opposition and seen shaking hands with alleged triad gangs. This is the celebration on social media after the news hit. #HongKongProtests #HKDCElection

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

Democracy at work! The people of #HongKong’s voice is being heard loud and clear today as votes are counted.

Communist China should take a close look and reconsider their current posture. Autonomy and human rights belong to HK!

[Niko Grünfeld @nikogrunfeld]

Just arrived in Hong Kong. I’m invited by @Stand_with_HK as an international observer for the district election in #hongkong.

Human rights, Democracy, Peace and Freedom of Speech must be cultivated here.

I’m glad to be hear and supporting

[Rich Scotford 🇬🇧 | HK-UK Identity & Bitcoin @RichScotford]

Today’s HK elections show that the fix for HK’s problem are actually quite easy, let people choose their leaders. Not rocket science. Unfortunately Beijing would prefer to destroy HK rather than have a functional democracy.

[James Lee Proudfoot @PhilosophyNook]

They’ve done it before and they’re doing it again this #HKDCElection! This is just one more reason the amazing people of #HongKong must get out there and vote 💪🏻
