Amid the massive pro-democracy protests in 2019, Junius Ho who was a key anti-protest figure who was allegedly involved in the Yuen Long attack was challenged by Lo Chun-yu in his constituency in the November election. A historic landslide victory occurred as the pro-democrats took 28 of the 31 seats in the council with Ho being unseated. A local political group Tuen Mun Community Network also grabbed three seats as a result.

gollark: Well, unless you dig LOTS and the shield generators fail.
gollark: It'd just be an early-game hassle.
gollark: It's not very interesting, though, you can stop them with a single shield.
gollark: Then MAKE them learn about mods by sending waves of mobs to attack their base which can only be fought off with the power of M O D S!
gollark: ```mobs don't spawn for some distance around my base due to an astral sorcery ritualat the point i am in the game there's really no point in anything except to do it just for funthey're not even remotely as far as meweird i think one of the lines i just typed didn't send```is what I got.
