Hong Kong pro-democracy candidates ride record turnout to early lead

|
Pro-democracy candidates in Hong Kong won at least 207 seats, compared to about 18 seats for the pro-establishment camp, in district council elections after residents turned out in record numbers on Sunday to vote following six months of anti-government protests.

The elections are seen as a test of support for the city's pro-Beijing chief executive, Carrie Lam, who has faced intense pressure during months of unrest in the Chinese-ruled city.
