Competition a fine thing for Leung

President of the Legislative Council Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen - who has been reelected as a lawmaker without a walkover victory in two decades -said he will consider running for the Legco president again if there are enough lawmakers supporting him.

Leung, who just won the seat of industrial (first) functional constituency in Sunday's election, said he had not rested for over 30 hours, adding he would discuss with other lawmakers and consider running for the president again if they support him.

Leung has been a lawmaker for the sector since 2004 and was automatically elected in the past elections.

He faced a contest for the first time in this year's election and said it's a "good practice."

"I fought for the seat by myself this time by meeting 200 to 300 voters in person this time and calling all voters. It helped improve the communication between me and voters," Leung said.

With the competition, he could forge closer ties with the industry during the election, Leung said, adding he can become a better representative of the industry in the future.
