A former leader of Hong Kong's 2014 pro-democracy movement has been elected to the city's legislature in elections that saw a surge of support for a younger generation of activists-turned-politicians.
Former Umbrella Movement leader Nathan Law, 23, will become Hong Kong's youngest-ever legislator after garnering 50,818 votes in the Hong Kong Island electoral district in Sunday's poll.
Law, who ran as a candidate for the newly formed party Demosisto, said he had now entered "a new stage of his life."
"You could say it was a miracle that I won," Law told reporters. "It was far beyond my expectation that I would win with more than 50,000 votes."
He said the support at the ballot box would remind him "not to let people down" during his four-year term as lawmaker.
