新民主同盟
Just before the party congress, 30 members announced to leave the party, including 7 founding members and 7 District Councillors in the New Territories East. Most of the leaving members were the backbones of the lately-formed Neo Democrats such as the former Vice-Chairman Chan King-ming. They said their leave was largely because they did not agree with the party's stance on the 2010 electoral reform package. They also requested the party to apologise for its "mistake".
