These are the District Council (Second) functional constituency results of the 2016 Legislative Council election. The election was held on 4 September 2016 and all 5 seats in were contested. The pan-democracy camp failed to achieve coordination and fielded six candidate lists while the pro-Beijing camp fielded only three seats, two for Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) and one for the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (FTU). FTU incumbent Chan Yuen-han was no longer eligible for running as she retired from the District Council and Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood (ADPL) and Democratic Party incumbents Frederick Fung and Albert Ho lost their eligibility for running as they lost their District Council seats. The Democratic Party and the DAB both fielded their young candidates, Kwong Chun-yu and Holden Chow, to fight for the last seat, in which they were neck-to-neck in the opinion polls, while Democratic Party veteran James To, DAB chairwoman Starry Lee, Neighbourhood and Worker's Service Centre's (NWSC) veteran Leung Yiu-chung and FTU veteran Wong Kwok-hing led comfortably in the polls. 48 hours before the election day, three pro-democrat candidates Sumly Chan of Civic Party, Ho Kai-ming of ADPL and Kwan Wing-yip of Neo Democrats abandoned their campaign to boost the chance for Kwong to win the last seat. Pro-democrat scholar Benny Tai's "smart voters" plan also ask his participants to vote for Kwong. As a result, Kwong received the highest votes of 491,667 while James To won the last seat by defeating Wong Kwok-hing with a margin of 10,694 votes.2016 Legislative Council Election - Election Result https://www.elections.gov.hk/legco2016/eng/rs_fc_DS.html?1772743252470 2026-03-05 www.elections.gov.hk Overall results Before election: + ↓ 3 2 Anti-establishment Pro-establishment Change in composition: + ↓ 3 2 Anti-establishment Pro-establishment Party Seats Seatschange Contestinglist(s) Votes % %change Democratic Party (Hong Kong) 2 0 2 735,597 38.5 +4.2 Neighbourhood and Worker's Service Centre 1 +1 1 303,457 15.9 N/A Civic Party 0 0 1 28,311 1.5 N/A Neo Democrats 0 0 1 22,631 1.2 N/A HKADPL 0 –1 0 17,175 0.9 –15.6 Pro-democracy camp 3 0 3 1,108,171 58.0 +7.2 DABHK 2 +1 2 568,561 29.8 –0.2 HKFTU 0 –1 1 233,236 12.6 –3.3 Pro-Beijing camp 2 0 3 801,797 45.4 –3.4 Turnout: 1,909,968 57.1 +5.1 Candidates list Vote share 38.51 Democratic Democratic Party (Hong Kong) 29.77 DAB Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong 15.89 NWSC Neighbourhood and Workers Service Centre 12.21 FTU Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions 1.48 Civic Civic Party 1.24 Neo Democrats Neo Democrats 0.90 ADPL Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood Legislative Election 2012: District Council (Second) Democratic Party (Hong Kong) Kwong Chun-yu 491,667 25.74(20.00+5.74) +11.36 Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong Starry Lee Wai-kingHung Lin-cham, Chu Lap-wai, Ngan Man-yu, Siu Ka-yi 304,222 15.93 –1.48 Neighbourhood and Workers Service Centre Leung Yiu-chung 303,457 15.89 N/A Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong Holden Chow Ho-dingLi Sai-wing, Nixie Lam Lam, Mo Shing-fung 264,339 13.84 +1.29 Democratic Party (Hong Kong) James To Kun-sun 243,930 12.77 –7.11 Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions Wong Kwok-hing, Mok Kin-wing, Wong Wang-to, Lau Kwai-yung 233,236 12.21 –3.26 Civic Party Sumly Chan Yuen-sum 28,311 1.48 N/A Neo Democrats Kwan Wing-yip, Hui Yui-yu, Lai Ming-chak 22,631 1.24 N/A Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood Kalvin Ho Kai-ming 17,175 0.90 N/A 1,909,968 100.00 73,081 1,983,049 57.09 –5.14 3,473,792 Opinion polling Opinion polling for the Hong Kong legislative election, 2016#District Council (Second) See also Legislative Council of Hong Kong Hong Kong legislative elections 2016 Hong Kong legislative election References Category:2016 Hong Kong legislative election
