The association earlier opened nomination to members who wish to stand in the election but no one registered as of Friday, according to a Facebook post of the association.

The association also convened a meeting on Saturday and yet the matter was not brought up after no one filed a nomination, chairman Yeung Yuk said.

Yeung also said he will go alone with party members' decision on whether to stand in the election or not.

Bruce Liu Sing-lee, one of the member of the association didn't file a nomination although he earlier said he will stand in the election. On that Yeung said he didn't know the reasons behind as well.
