Hong Kong’s last major opposition party is moving towards disbanding as its members vote to endorse preparations for the move. The party head announced that a final vote on dissolution will take place in several months’ time.
The decision comes amid a years-long national security crackdown, which has taken a toll on the city’s democracy movement.
A recent vote among party members saw overwhelming support for disbanding, marking a significant shift in the party’s stance. The move is seen as a response to the increasingly harsh environment faced by opposition parties in Hong Kong.
No official statement has been made regarding the exact date of dissolution, but it is expected that the process will be completed within the next few months.
