Controversy over the qualifications of a 22-year-old Joshua Wong Democist Party secretary for Hong Kong's pro-democracy protest, which has declared running for parliamentary elections on Monday, is growing.

According to Hong Kong's South China Morning Post and the Bin Guilbo, Joshua Cheng yesterday replied to the Hong Kong Election Commission, saying, "I and Democracy do not claim or support Hong Kong independence as a political alternative through the 'democracy' program." .

This was a response to the Hong Kong Election Commission's inquiry to Joshua Wong asking for a position on Democratic Party's Democratic Decision.

Joshua Cheng's debate over elections, which led to the 2014 Umbrella Revolution, has emerged as the biggest issue in the election.

In the November 24 election, 452 lawmakers are elected from 18 districts, and the democracy camp is expected to win due to protests against the Criminal India bill.

Joshua Wong has vowed to run for the South Horizons West constituency.

He will work with Judy Chan, who is a member of the pro-Sin Party party, the budding party.

However, Hong Kong's NEC has not yet announced whether he is eligible to run for the Democracy Party's `` democracy decision. ''
