It was the second of the three-tier elections held in 1995 under Governor Chris Patten's electoral reform, namely the 1994 District Board and 1995 Legislative Council election. The liberal Democratic Party continued its dominance by winning 23 seats in total. Due to the abolishment of the two Councils by Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa in 1999, this election became the last election. Overview Due to the democratisation reform under the governorship of Chris Patten, all the appointed seats since the creations of the Councils were replaced by members of direct elections. 32 seats in the Urban Council was the directly elected by the general residents and 9 seats were elected by the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon District Boards members. For Regional Council, 27 seats were directly elected and 9 seats were elected by the New Territories District Boards members, with 3 ex-officio members of the chairman and two chairmen of the Heung Yee Kuk. The first-past-the-post voting system was used. Dozens of long-serving Urban and Regional Councillors decided not to stand in the first full-scale municipal-level elections. The most senior member on the Urban Council Brook Bernacchi who was first elected in 1952 would not stand because the council was becoming increasingly politicised. Elsie Tu, the second most senior Councillor was challenged and defeated by the Democratic Party heavyweight Szeto Wah for the Kwun Tong North seat.Veterans leave battlefield https://www.scmp.com/article/104506/veterans-leave-battlefield Ng Catherine South China Morning Post 24 January 1995 As a result, 21 Urban Councillors left in 1995 taking with them a total of 210 years of experience.Traditional grey farewell for 21 Urbco veterans https://www.scmp.com/article/110408/traditional-grey-farewell-21-urbco-veterans Braude Jonathan South China Morning Post 15 March 1995 After the transfer of sovereignty to the People's Republic of China, Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa decided to streamline and centralise municipal services as part of his government's policy reforms by dissolving the two Councils. The 1995 election thus became the last election.
