2004 Legislative Council election

[edit]

Prior to the 2004 Hong Kong Legislative Council election, the pro-Beijing camp predicted that the competition would be fierce. Some of the HKPA LegCo candidates were persuaded to quit the election, in an attempt to enable Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) candidates to stand a higher chances of obtaining LegCo seats. In response to this, David Chu Yu-lin, originally a candidate for the LegCo constituency of the New Territories East, was replaced by Tso.[1][2] He had a slim chance of obtaining a seat in the election, and unsurprisingly he lost with just 14,174 votes, less than a quarter of any other list in the same constituency.[3]

During his campaigns, Tso gained prominence for his slogans. One of his best-known slogans was 科學求真，智識救港 (literally, Seek the truth with science, and save Hong Kong with knowledge).[citation needed]
