THE LOSERS RURAL candidate Dr Tang Siu-tong, who lost by just 57 votes, said he may file a complaint over the removal of some of his constituents' names from the register.
Police had to be called on Sunday after about 100 Tang supporters stormed a polling station in Wang Toi Shan, Pat Heung, when they found their names had been axed from the voters' list.
Dr Tang was locked in a neck-and-neck battle with the Democratic Party's Zachary Wong Wai-yin in the New Territories Northwest geographical election.
He scored 21,470 votes to Mr Wong's 21,527. Dr Tang said last night he thought he had been unfairly treated and demanded an explanation from the authorities.
He said he would take a short break before meeting campaign workers to decide whether a formal complaint should be filed.
'I feel that the situation is unfair to me and the Government should give me a clear explanation of what happened,' said Dr Tang.
He insisted his supporters had not moved out of the district and there was no reason for them to check that their names were on the electoral register.
