A group of former Hong Kong district councilors now in exile has called on Hong Kong citizens to boycott the upcoming district council elections held by Hong Kong authorities.

The Hong Kong government changed the city’s electoral system in July by drastically reducing the number of directly elected seats to 20 percent, explicitly stating that the District Council’s functions include supporting the government’s policies.
