The party made an historic breakthrough of reaching agreement with the representatives of the Central People's Government since the Tiananmen massacre in 1989. The revised proposal suggested by the Democratic Party was accepted by Beijing and subsequently passed in the Legislative Council with Democratic Party's votes. The party's decision further split the divided pan-democracy camp and the relatively "radical" democratic party League of Social Democrats accused the Democratic Party for selling out Hong Kong people. In the following 2010 July 1 march, the party leaders received verbal attacks and mocked by some other protestors. Just before the party congress, 30 members announced to leave the party, including 7 founding members and 7 District Councillors in the New Territories East. Most of the leaving members were the backbones of the lately-formed Neo Democrats such as the former Vice-Chairman Chan King-ming. They said their leave was largely because they did not agree with the party's stance on the 2010 electoral reform package. They also requested the party to apologise for its "mistake". Chairman Albert Ho admitted it caused certain damage to the party, but political parties' development is a natural phenomena. Emily Lau and Nelson Wong Sing-chi, the New Territories East legislators would take remedial actions, such as open more district offices in the region. Results Incumbent Chairman Albert Ho, who played a big role in the 2010 electoral reform negotiation, was re-elected with 94% of the vote unchallenged. Vice-Chairmen Emily Lau and Sin Chung-kai also retained their seats. The elected members of the 9th Central Committee are listed as following:http://www.dphk.org/?p=7361 zh:第九屆中委會及紀委會選舉結果 The Democratic Party Chinese 19 December 2010 Chairman: Albert Ho Vice-Chairmen: Emily Lau, Sin Chung-kai Secretary: Cheung Yin-tung Treasurer: Tsui Hon-kwong Executive Committee Members: 22em Josephine Chan Shu-ying Eric Lam Lap-chi Lee Wing-tat Ricky Or Yiu-lam Christopher Tsoi Yu-lung Andrew Wan Siu-kin Nelson Wong Sing-chi Wu Chi-wai Yeung Sum Central Committee Members: 22em Cheung Yuet-lan Andrew Chiu Ka-yin Joseph Chow Kam-siu Chui Pak-tai Andrew Fung Wai-kwong Lam Chung-hoi Lam Ho-yeung Law Chi-kwong Leung Ka-yu Joanna Leung Suk-ching Mark Li Kin-yin Li Wing-shing Mok Siu-lun Stanley Ng Wing-fai Wong King-fong Helena Wong Pik-wan References Category:Democratic Party (HK) leadership elections Category:2010 in Hong Kong Category:2010 elections in China Democratic Party (HK) leadership election
