In 2002, Tung Chee-hwa who failed from favour with many Hong Kong people was elected as Chief Executive of Hong Kong in the 2002 poll which the pro-democracy camp boycotted. This time, however, the pro-democracy decided to take part in the Chief Executive election in an attempt to force candidates to care more about the people's livelihood and prevent Donald Tsang reelected uncontested. After discussion, the camp decided that Alan Leong would run as a representative of the camp. As a result, the camp tried hard to gain at least 100 representatives of theirs to get the nomination threshold to enter the race.
