Members of the eighth-term Legislative Council (LegCo) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) are expected to work with the HKSAR government to inject more vitality into Hong Kong's development, said Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen, president of the seventh-term LegCo, on Tuesday.

Leung made the remarks at a press briefing attended by current LegCo members and members-elect of the eighth-term LegCo. The eighth-term LegCo election was held on Sunday, and the results were announced on Monday morning.

Leung said he believes this election further demonstrated the momentum generated by the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong."

He added that this will help promote reforms and achieve greater development for Hong Kong.

He encouraged the 50 re-elected LegCo members to communicate with the 40 first-time legislators to help them adapt to their new roles.

The eighth-term LegCo of the HKSAR will begin its four-year term on January 1, 2026.
