Additionally, Jiang Enzhu, deputy to the National People’s Congress and director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in SAR was ineligible because Election Committee members must be Hong Kong permanent residents. Therefore there were only 794 distinct members in total. ** By-elections occurred in 2002 and 2005; however, they did not change the number of members in each subsector.
