The resignation of William Wong Kam-fai, following a drink-driving and hit-and-run incident, has left a vacancy in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong.
In response, the Hong Kong government has stated that it is improbable that a by-election will be held to fill this position.
Officials cited time constraints and the cost-effectiveness of holding a by-election as primary reasons for this decision.
This move may have implications for the political landscape and representation within the Legislative Council.
