El Consejo de Distrito de Tuen Mun ( chino :屯門區議會) es el Consejo de Distrito del Distrito de Tuen Mun , en los Nuevos Territorios . Es uno de los 18 consejos de este tipo. El Consejo está formado por 32 miembros, 6 miembros elegidos por el sistema de puestos por primera vez cada cuatro años, 12 miembros del comité de distrito, 13 miembros designados y 1 miembro ex officio que es el presidente del Comité Rural de Tuen Mun . Las últimas elecciones se celebraron el 10 de diciembre de 2023 .
El Consejo del Distrito de Tuen Mun se estableció el 1 de abril de 1981 con el nombre de Junta del Distrito de Tuen Mun como resultado de la reforma del Plan de Administración del Distrito del Gobernador colonial Murray MacLehose . La Junta de Distrito fue elegida en parte con los miembros ex officio del Consejo Regional y el presidente del Comité Rural de Tuen Mun , así como con miembros designados por el Gobernador hasta 1994, cuando el último Gobernador Chris Patten se abstuvo de nombrar a ningún miembro. Líderes rurales y habitantes indígenas como Lau Wong-fat habían dominado la escena política local a principios y mediados de los años ochenta. [1]
La Junta del Distrito de Tuen Mun se convirtió en la Junta del Distrito Provisional de Tuen Mun después de que se estableciera la Región Administrativa Especial de Hong Kong (RAEHK) en 1997 y el director ejecutivo, Tung Chee-hwa, reintrodujera el sistema de nombramiento . El actual Consejo de Distrito de Tuen Mun se estableció el 1 de enero de 2000 después de la primera elección del Consejo de Distrito en 1999. Los escaños designados fueron abolidos en 2015 después de que el Consejo Legislativo aprobara la propuesta de reforma constitucional modificada en 2010.
As a new town in the 1980s, Tuen Mun was a strategic target for emerging pro-democracy activists, notably the Meeting Point. Ng Ming-yum was first elected in the 1985 election with the highest votes in the territory and was re-elected with high votes in 1988 and 1991 and later on elected to the Legislative Council in 1991. Another pro-democracy party Hong Kong Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood (ADPL) and pro-Taipei 123 Democratic Alliance also established their bases in the 1990s. In the 1994 election, the pro-democracy and pro-Taipei together gained the control of the council.
The Tuen Mun District Council is also dominated by the rural forces. Long-time Heung Yee Kuk chairman Lau Wong-fat was the long-time chairman of the council from 1985 up until 2011, and again from 2011 to 2015, on the capacity of Tuen Mun Rural Committee chairman. In 1994 when the pro-democrat and pro-Taipei councillors controlled the board, the 123 Democratic Alliance defected and elected Lau to be the chairman.[2] Lau chairmanship was interrupted in 2011 when his rural committee chairmanship was taken away by Junius Ho. Leung Kin-man of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), which rapidly developed its base in the district after the handover, took the chairmanship briefly and again became the council chairman since 2015.
The Democratic Party chairman Albert Ho was a long time councillor in the district, representing Lok Tsui, until he was defeated in the 2015 District Council election when he was ousted by Junius Ho, which eliminated Albert Ho's eligibility to run in the District Council (Second) constituency for the Legislative Council.[3] The Democratic Party also suffered a huge defeat in the district, dropping their seats from seven to four.
Amid the massive pro-democracy protests in 2019, Junius Ho who was a key anti-protest figure who was allegedly involved in the Yuen Long attack was challenged by Democratic Party's Lo Chun-yu in his constituency in the November election, with Lo's party winning eight seats. A historic landslide victory occurred as the pro-democrats took 28 of the 31 seats in the council with Ho being unseated. A localist political group Tuen Mun Community Network also grabbed four seats as a result.
Since 1982 political control of the council has been held by the following parties:
