The 1995 Hong Kong Legislative Council general election for members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (LegCo) was held on 17 September 1995. It was the last and the first fully elected legislative election of the colonial Hong Kong government before transferring Hong Kong's sovereignty to China two years later. The elections returned 20 members from directly elected geographical constituencies, 30 members from indirectly elected functional constituencies, and 10 members from elections committee who elected by all District Board members. Due to Governor Chris Patten's constitutional reforms, which were strongly opposed by the Beijing government, the nine newly created functional constituencies enfranchised around 2.7 million new voters. As the arguments between Britain and China sparked, politics in Hong Kong became much more involved than previously in Hong Kong's history. New emerged parties, the Beijing-loyalist Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), the pro-business Liberal Party and pro-democracy Democratic Party all filled up candidates to contest in the election. The pro-democracy forces won another landslide victory after the 1991 Legislative Council elections, sweeping 17 of the 20 directly elected seats and about half of the seats in the legislature. The democrats controlled the legislature, made Andrew Wong became the only President of the Legislative Council from pro-democracy camp. Since Beijing overthrew the promise of "through train" which guaranteed the legislature could travel through 1997 as the reaction to Chris Patten's reform, the pro-democracy legislature lasted for only two years and was replaced by the Beijing-controlled Provisional Legislative Council. ==Background== (詳細は1994 Hong Kong electoral reform carried out by the last colonial governor Chris Patten as the last step of democratisation as following: * Using the "single seat, single constituency" method for all three tiers of geographical constituency elections to the District Boards, Municipal Councils (Urban and Regional Council) and Legislative Council; * Lowering the minimum voting age from 21 to 18; * Abolishing all appointed seats on the District Boards and Municipal Councils; * Removing all the restrictions on local deletes to China's National People's Congress to stand for election; * Broadening the franchise of certain existing functional constituencies by replacing corporate voting with individual voting; * Introducing nine new functional constituency seats; and * Introducing of an Election Committee of District Board members return 10 members to the Legislative Council.
