The Democratic Party remained the largest party despite its former chairman Lee Wing-tat lost his seat in Lai Wah to the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong Chu Lai-ling. Although the pan-democracy camp won the majority of the seats, it was balanced by the appointed and ex officio seats.
