The 1991 Hong Kong District Board elections were held on 3 March 1991. Elections were held in all 19 districts of Hong Kong (in which Yau Tsim District and Mong Kok District later merged into today's Yau Tsim Mong District), for 272 members from directly elected constituencies. It was the rehearsals of all the newly established parties including pro-democracy United Democrats of Hong Kong and its allies, more middle-class oriented Hong Kong Democratic Foundation, and the conservative Liberal Democratic Federation of Hong Kong for the Urban and Regional Council elections in May and more importantly the first Legislative Council direct election in September.[1] Its landslide successes in these elections marked the rise of the contemporary pro-democracy camp.
