Everyone keeps talking about "rule of law", one of the rules is to respect the taking of the oath to the office. This is true of any country. Why allow someone to hold an office if they only intend to cause trouble?

why it's controversial to bar somebody who by now have found a substitute

EDIT actually "Just before deadline last week, Kelvin Lam Ho-por also enrolled and was widely believed to be Wong’s substitute in case the activist was barred from running." is the last sentence of
