Results of a poll by pan-dem lawmakers do not show a clear majority from supporters who said they should serrve extended Legco term. A poll commissioned by the Democratic Party surveyed some 2,500 people last week, among which 730 claimed to be supporters of the lawmakers. Results showed no clear majority from supporters who said they should stay, nor from those who oppose. 47.1 percent of supporters said they should serve for another year, just 1.3 percentage point more than those who oppose. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress agreed last month to extend the term of Legco by at least one year to plug the gap created by the government's decision to postpone the polls due to the coronavirus pandemic.
