Hong Kong’s local elections on Sunday marked a historic victory for the pro-democracy camp with a record-breaking voter turnout.
With nearly 3 million voters participating in the elections, pro-democracy candidates have won 389 of 452 seats while the pro-Beijing camp has lost over 200 seats.
The 71.2 percent voter turnout on Sunday was double than that of the district council elections in 2015, also higher than any other election in Hong Kong’s history.
