2006 Democratic Party (HK) leadership election

The 2006 Democratic Party leadership election was held on 3 December 2006 for the 30-member Central Committee of the Democratic Party in Hong Kong, including the posts of Chairman and Vice-Chairmen.

The election saw a contest between incumbent Chairman Lee Wing-tat and legislator Albert Ho for the chairmanship. Lee Wing-tat had been Chairman since 2004, while Albert Ho was a veteran legislator and former party chairman. The election was closely watched as it represented a potential shift in the party's leadership and strategic direction.

The election results saw Albert Ho defeat Lee Wing-tat by a margin of 44 to 34. Ho's victory was attributed to his experience and reputation within the party, as well as his ability to garner support from different factions. The elected Vice-Chairmen were Sin Chung-kai, Andrew Cheng, and Emily Lau.

Following his election, Albert Ho outlined his vision for the party, emphasizing unity, strengthening the party's grassroots support, and continuing the fight for democracy in Hong Kong. The leadership change marked a new chapter for the Democratic Party, as it navigated the evolving political landscape of Hong Kong.
