The Seventh District Councils of Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港第七屆區議會) is the current meeting of the local councils of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, starting from 1 January 2024 after the 2023 local elections. This is also the first meeting after the government revamped the deliberation bodies with seats elected by electoral college and appointed by the government, and the first where pro-Beijing members captured all seats after no moderates or democrats were able to enter the race.

Appointed members

Constitutional Secretary Erick Tsang confirmed no defeated candidates in the election would be appointed to the District Councils, in order to defuse public's concern.[28] The government announced the list of appointed and ex officio members on 12 December, two days after the poll.[29]

Amongst the 179 appointed councillors, 49 were pro-Beijing members that had lost to democrats in 2019. A member of Path of Democracy, the pro-Beijing moderate party, was selected to enter Yuen Long District Council after the party failed to win a seat in direct elections.[30] Care Team members were also on the list of appointments.[31] With the inclusion of elected councillors and those chosen by the government-appointed District Committees, a majority of 87% were members of the District Committees, which are also responsible for nominating candidates.[32]
