Both groups won three seats each in the election, maintaining the balance of power in the Council, with Henry Hu representing Reform Club was elected for the first time. On election day afternoon, six members of the Labour Party protested peacefully for two hours at Edinburgh Place outside the City Hall poll station with slogans of "Abolish Urban Council", "Support Labour don't vote", and "Give Hong Kong democracy". They criticised the Urban Council as powerless to manage matters that had real impact on Hong Kong residents, and that of Hong Kong's population of nearly four million, fewer than 30,000 people had the right to vote.香港工商日報 5 4 March 1965 zh:投票站外首次出現示威行動 Chinese Elected members Urban Council Election 1965 Reform Club of Hong Kong Brook Bernacchi 4,192 Reform Club of Hong Kong Alison Bell 3,913 Reform Club of Hong Kong Henry Hu 3,828 Hong Kong Civic Association Li Yiu-bor 3,768 Hong Kong Civic Association Woo Pak-foo 3,616 Hong Kong Civic Association Hilton Cheong-Leen 3,520 Reform Club of Hong Kong Charles Ching Hong Kong Civic Association Pun Chung-chik Hong Kong Civic Association Henry Wong Reform Club of Hong Kong Patrick Wong Reform Club of Hong Kong Charles Yeung Siu-cho 6,492 22.12 +1.60 29,349 +13.18 Citations References Lau, Y.W.
