HONG KONG—The 1,500-member panel that picks Hong Kong’s next leader will have only one opposition-leaning member, according to results Monday from a tightly controlled selection process amid a crackdown on dissent in the city.

Separately, Hong Kong national security police arrested three student members of one of the city’s last remaining pro-democracy political organizations on suspicion of conspiracy to incite subversion.
