Synopsis:

A gripping action thriller set in the secret world of Hong Kong’s triad society. Directed by legendary Hong Kong director Johnnie To, whose film career spans over 25 years, ELECTION offers a realistic look at what it means to be a gangster in Hong Kong today. The time has come, as it does every two years, for the senior members of Hong Kong's oldest Triad, The Wo Shing Society, to elect a new chairman. Fierce rivalries emerge between the two eligible candidates. Lok, respected by the Uncles, is the favourite to win. But his rival Big D will stop at nothing to win the vote, including going against hundreds of years of Triad tradition and influencing the vote with money and violence.
