In the 2012 Chief Executive election , the Liberal Party was the high-profile supporter of Henry Tang , its former party member . After Henry Tang suffered from the illegal basement scandal , the party unanimously decided its Election Committee members could either vote for Henry Tang or cast blank votes , but not to vote for Leung Chun-ying . The party remained critical of Leung administration . In August 2013 , James Tien described Leung as " the worst chief executive so far " on a talk show . In October 2013 , the Liberal Party even joined the pan-democrats in signing a petition to urge the Leung administration to re-consider its decision to not give a free-to-air TV license to Hong Kong Television Network
