The pro-democracy camp has submitted a bid for a no confidence motion against Legco President Andrew Leung, saying they want their opposition to his tactics to be put on record.
Civic Party leader Alvin Yeung said even though the opposition expects the motion to be defeated, they hope it will make their objections to Leung's actions very clear, "so that Hong Kong public can know what went wrong".
The anti-establishment lawmakers were furious at the way Leung presided over the controversial express rail bill, which was passed by Legco on Thursday.
Yeung said the opposition wants to make clear that Leung's actions over the past two weeks during the rail bill debate were completely wrong.
"He has breached all the conventions, a number of rules of procedures, and even rules he set for himself," he said.
The opposition group has written to the House Committee chairwoman Starry Lee and they expects the committee to discuss it as early as next Friday. They also plan submit a second bid at the full council later.
