民主黨係上屆立法會非建制派嘅第一大黨，有7席。但其中許智峯同埋黃碧雲任內分別受搶手機風波同埋議會表現欠佳嘅批評。今屆，兩人經黨內甄選依然分別繼續參選香港島同埋九龍西選區，而黃碧雲喺黨內甄選時受深水埗區區議員袁海文挑戰。去到會員大會嘅時候，亦被唔少黨員批評，但黃碧雲最終仍然勝出黨內初選。
The Democratic Party (DP) was the largest non-establishment party in the last legislature, with seven seats. However, Hui Zhifeng and Huang Biyun were criticized for the robbery of mobile phones and the poor performance of the parliament respectively during their tenure. In this term, the two continued to run for Hong Kong Island and Kowloon West constituencies respectively after being selected by the party, while Wong Pik-wan was challenged by Sham Shui Po District Councillor Yuen Hoi-man during the party election. When he went to the general meeting, he was also criticized by many party members, but Huang Biyun still won the party primary election in the end.
