After the election, Yeung Sum said since the party was marginalised by Beijing, the Democratic Party was accused of playing negative role in the "one country, two systems" and unification with Taiwan. Therefore, his task would be establishing normal relationship with the central and also SAR governments, and forming solidarity within the party.
