  • Democrats plan no-confidence motion against Lam

Democratic Party legislator James To says his party will table a motion of no confidence against Chief Executive Carrie Lam as she is unfit to lead Hong Kong.

To said the government's proposal to allow extraditions on a case-by-case basis to anywhere in the world, including mainland China, hits the "One Country, Two Systems" principal at the core.

The veteran democrat accused Mrs Lam of turning a blind eye to the widespread concerns over the plan: "It's time to voice out to the public as a party having several legislators elected by the people, to be frank to the people that our assessment of the CE, the continuing of her post, would not be beneficial to the overall interests of the Hong Kong people. And especially the implementation of "One Country, Two Systems".

To also said that Carrie Lam now is no longer the woman he knew many years ago when she was still an administrative officer, or A-O, who adhered to the rule of law and due process.

"Of course she is not an A-O now. She may change fundamentally her life values, political values, ... Or how, in her heart she would view the mainland government."
