Starry Lee, in Chairman seat, was surrounded and protected by a large number of government security now, while Dennis Kwok stood aside.
The pro-democracy camp expressed their dissatisfaction. There were conflicts going on between the pro-Beijing and pro-democracy camp, and most of the LegCo members are currently still hosting livestreams, covering the situation.

Starry Lee Bulldozes Forward with LegCo House Committee Meeting as Pro-dem Lawmakers Were Dragged Out by Security

At 2:30pm, Starry Lee, the chairperson of the pro-Beijing DAB party, moved forward with a House Committee meeting, citing that the filibuster on the House Committee chair election was taking too long and had interfered with the operations of the House Committee.
Pro-democracy legislators Chu Hoi-Dick, Tanya Chan, Hui Chi-fung, and Raymond Chan protested against the decision by chanting "Starry Lee has no power [to break the filibuster and move forward with a meeting]", as verbal fights descended into fist fights between the pro-democracy legislators and security, joined by pro-Beijing legislator Aron Kwok.
As brawls broke out in the chamber, Starry Lee ordered security to expel pro-democracy legislators, including Alvin Yeung and Jeremy Tam, who were not involved in the fights. The pro-democracy vice chair of the House Committee, Dennis Kwok, also attempted to instruct security to expel pro-Beijing legislators involved in the brawls, but such instructions were ignored by the security personnel who seemed to take orders only from Starry Lee.

Pro-Beijing Lawmakers Only Take Favourable Legal Opinion in Legislative Council Meetings
At the controversial House Committee meeting in the Legislative Council on May 8, the pro-Beijing faction showed how they took in opinion that was favourable to the Establishment and refused to listen to different opinions.
Under these circumstances, the pro-Beijing fraction quoted barristers Benjamin Yu and Jenkin Suen's opinion that DAB chairperson Starry Lee had the right to preside over the afternoon meeting.
Pro-Beijing lawmaker Michael Luk Chung-hung of The Federation of Trade Unions pointed out that barrister Philip Dykes and legal professor Johannes Chan Man Mun are the "trump cards" of the pro democratic faction. Luk claimed their positions and answers made discussion meaningless. Beijing loyalist Junius Ho Kwan-yiu added that the internal meeting should be based on Yu's opinion, "Because he is a lot brighter than Philip Dykes."
