presidential runoff put both candidates from the left and right neck and neck end to the results too close to call. and i'll just look ahead to the in battled it out in the us league of both teams have been a just big disappointment so far this season could they rediscover their mojo. pro-democracy supporters in hong kong are celebrating after securing a landslide victory in municipal elections the pro-democracy camp has won nearly $390.00 council seats compared to less than 60 for probation parties opposition now controls a majority of councils in the city hong kong residents turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots in an election widely seen as a referendum on the pro-democracy movement after nearly 6 months of protests.

another seat for the pro-democracy camp never the fall has it won so many in a district council election. is one of the witness he says voters wanted to make their voices heard after nearly 6 months of unrest in hong kong. happy with how they deal with. police brutality is actually. really. pro-democracy vote has already started to celebrate early in the night when it became clear that some of the probating have always had lost their seats activists had urged people to get out and cast their ballots 70 percent of voters answered the call. if there are more hong kong is casting their ballots it means

a better democracy so if this year's voter turnout is higher than the previous election i think that's quite positive for the polls to elect district councilors they have little political power controlling some spending and issues like recycling and public health hong kong's district councils have long been dominated by to probating establishment this time and for the 1st time the scales have chips decisively in favor of the pro-democracy movement. now that report from our reporter she's here in the studio with me to talk about the results now the results are in beijing provision parties have taken massive his year what do you make of the. pro-democracy camp has won about $390.00 out of $452.00 seats that's nearly 90 percent and it's a huge victory for the pro-democracy camp and as for the probation camp they've lost over 250 states compared to the last election many prominent very prominent

probe aging heavy weights have been actually bombed out of office such as julius hold he's a very controversial figure that has caught a lot of media attention because of his abrasive comments about the protesters and genius who is also prominent because of an incident that happened in november last last month actually where he appeared to have been stabbed at a campaign rally and that could have gone badly for the pro-democracy camp given the reputation of violence among some protestors so how was it that he was kicked out of his seat as you write a journey a very unpopular protesters he was stopped in november and that attack was filmed and it was shared online so now collate protests and the pro-democracy camp should lose support while journalists whole and to pro-government camp actually gain support because of that by all that violence but it didn't happen and why this is

a question that many will have and that's because many people actually. many people doubt the credibility of that video it's because the video was filmed in a way as if it was all planned the filming angle was perfect and also julius ho and his team reacted so quickly that as if they knew that it was going to happen of course these are all speculations we don't know if they're true but many believe that the attack was actually staged and they. didn't take it seriously though it certainly didn't work out in his favor now chief executive carrie lamb has reacted what is she said in the statement she said that her government respects the election results and now they would listen humbly to the public and she also acknowledged acknowledged that the resell which has sparked a discussion that the citizens are dissatisfied with the current social situation and there are some deep seated problems but then she didn't go on without
