HONG KONG, July 24 (Xinhua) -- A spokesman for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government said on Monday that the seventh District Council Ordinary Election would be held on Dec. 10, 2023.
The District Committees constituency election and the District Council geographical constituency election will be held on the same day, the spokesman said.
