The 2019 Central and Western District Council election was held on 24 November 2019 to elect all 15 members of the Central and Western District Council.[1]
Amid the ongoing pro-democracy protests, the pro-democrats scored a historic landslide victory by taking 14 of the 15 seats, with DAB being completely wiped out from the council and its legislator Cheung Kwok-kwan being ousted in Sai Wan.
