Hong Kong leader defends ‘patriots only’ election despite low voter turnout
Description
December 20, 2021
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam on Monday defended the low voter turnout in the recent overhauled “patriots-only” legislative election, but said she was not able to give specific reasons for it. China's Foreign Ministry also said the 30.2 per cent turnout rate was within a "normal and reasonable range,” but some Hong Kong residents said they were unimpressed by the new electoral arrangements, which completely exclude voices critical of the Chinese central government.
