Hong Kong election turnout in focus amid anger over deadly fire

Residents are angry over the blaze that killed at least 159 people and took nearly two days to extinguish after it broke out on November 26.

Hong Kong’s citizens were voting on Sunday in an election where the focus is on turnout, with residents grieving and traumatised after the city’s worst fire in nearly 80 years and the authorities scrambling to avoid a broader public backlash.
