Andrew Fung was the single candidate of the Meeting Point faction who was elected to the Central Committee. The seven reformist members were all defeated. The elected members of the 7th Central Committee are listed as following: Chairman: Albert Ho Vice-Chairmen: Sin Chung-kai, Tik Chi-yuen Secretary: Peggy Ha Treasurer: Cheung Yin-tung Executive Committee Members: 22em Chan Ka-wai Josephine Chan Shu-ying Howard Lam Tsz-kin Law Chi-kwong Lee Wing-tat Ng Wing-fai Szeto Wah Tsui Hon-kwong Wong Sing-chi Yeung Sum Central Committee Members: 22em Chai Man-hon Cheung Yuet-lan Fung Wai-kwong Kwong Chun-yu Lam Wing-yin Law Chun-ngai Lee Shiu-man Joanna Leung Suk-ching Mark Li Kin-yin Mok Siu-lun Ng Kim-sing James To Kun-sun Wong Kin-shing Wu Chi-wai Yuen Bun-keung Aftermath The newly elected Chairman Albert Ho said his team won because the party members understood that they were in crisis and needed a strong leadership. He called for the intra-party solidarity. Political scientist Ivan Choy commented that the election results showed the loss of trust between the mainstreamers and reformists. The New Territories East branch which the reformists dominated would confront the party's central authorities. That might lead to another split if the conflicts continued and bad election results came out badly in the district council elections next year.
