Hong Kong chief executive hopefuls to be grilled by Election Committee members and internet users in final debate
Candidates will answer questions by voters and address a collection of online queries, followed by closing remarks
Three Hong Kong chief executive candidates will cross swords again in a third and final debate on Sunday night as they face questions from voters who will elect the city’s next leader.
The debate, co-organised by a group of Election Committee members from across the political spectrum, will take place at AsiaWorld-Expo between 7pm and 9pm.
The trio will kick off Sunday night’s debate with three minutes each to introduce their policy platforms.
But this time, the format will be different – Election Committee members will grill the candidates for an hour instead.
The trio will then answer questions picked by the hosts from hundreds of entries collected from internet users in the past week.
The night will end with concluding remarks from the candidates.
Members from the League of Social Democrats, People Power and Demosisto are understood to have planned for a protest at the scene to call for greater democracy in the chief executive election.
