Professional Power
Professional Power is a political group operating in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong. The group is formed and led by Christine Fong, a former member of the Liberal Party. The group markets itself as nonpartisan and currently has four members in the Sai Kung District Council.
In the 2015 Hong Kong local elections, Professional Power fielded nine candidates, with four getting elected. The group fielded seven candidates in the 2019 election, four of which applied on the first day.Political Stance
Professional Power has been widely considered as a centrist political organization, and has been competing directly with both pro-Beijing camp and pro-Democracy camp.
And yet, in 2016 Hong Kong legislative election, it was reported that the Hong Kong Liaison Office has been trying to "allocate" the votes to Fong.
In 2019 Hong Kong local elections, many candidates of the Professional Power were not challenged by any parties or independent politicians from the pro-Beijing camp. Prior to the polling day, there was a list widely circulated in LIHKG and Factcheck.io. The list claimed itself as a list of candidates endorsed by Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions. The list has included six candidates from the Professional Power.
