The Democratic Party and Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) each took two seats, with Choy So-yuk taking the last seat with the largest remainder method. Cyd Ho of The Frontier who ran for the New Territories last election ran in Hong Kong Island and replaced Christine Loh of the Citizens Party who did not seek for re-election.
