← 2012 26 March 2017 2022 →
All 1,200 votes of the Election Committee
601 votes needed to win
Opinion polls
Incumbent Chief Executive

Leung Chun-ying
Nonpartisan



The 2017 Hong Kong Chief Executive election is scheduled on 26 March 2017 for the 5th term of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong (CE). After the government's constitutional reform proposal being rejected by the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (LegCo) in the wake of a series of controversies and massive protests, the selecting method of the 2017 Chief Executive will remain chosen by the 1,200-member Election Committee (EC).

On 9 December 2016, two days before the Election Committee Subsector elections, the incumbent Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying announced he would not seek re-election.

Background

Further information: Leung Chun-ying as Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Democratic development in Hong Kong, 2014–15 Hong Kong electoral reform, and 2014 Hong Kong protests

The leader of Hong Kong, the Chief Executive, is currently elected by a 1200-member Election Committee (CE), though the Hong Kong Basic Law Article 45 states the "ultimate aim is the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures."[1] Progress to universal suffrage has been the dominant issue in Hong Kong politics since the transfer of sovereignty in 1997, as the pan-democracy camp has demanded the full implementation of Article 45. After ruling out universal suffrage in the 2012 Chief Executive election in 2004, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) in 2007 ruled that the 2017 Chief Executive election "may be implemented by the method of universal suffrage".[2]

On 31 August 2014, the NPCSC imposes the standard that "the Chief Executive shall be a person who loves the country and loves Hong Kong" and be nominated by a nominating committee, mirroring the present Election Committee, to nominate two to three candidates, each of whom must receive the support of more than half of the members of the nominating committee.[3] The pan-democrats viewed the restrictive nominating process as a violation of international standards of free elections, as candidates unsupportive of the central government would be screened out. The decision triggered a class boycott in Hong Kong[4][5] which escalated into a 79-day large-scale occupy movement, which is also known as the "Umbrella Revolution".

On 18 June 2015, the Legislative Council rejected the electoral reform proposal 28 to 8 votes with 33 principally pro-government legislators controversially absent, which meant the selecting method of the 2017 Chief Executive will remain chosen by the 1,200-member Election Committee.[6]

The Chief Executive race started as early on 27 October 2016 when retired judge Woo Kwok-hing became the first candidate to declare his campaign.[34] He launched an offensive campaign against incumbent Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, questioning his achievements during his term while Woo himself was questioned for his lack of experience in public administration.[35] Around the same time, New People's Party chairwoman Regina Ip expressed her interest in running in the election. She criticised the potential candidate, Financial Secretary John Tsang for not doing much in the last decade. Tsang responded by saying that "if one can be idle at it for 10 years, [he] has quite a bit of talent." He refused to response if he would run, only said it was "heaven’s secret" when he would make any decision. Leung Chun-ying also unleashed a thinly-veiled attack on Tsang, suggesting ministers should be "responsible" and focus on the upcoming policy address and budget rather than thinking about joining the city’s leadership race. Leung also argued that "will those pushing for the city’s independence stop what they are doing? Will those insulting their own country shut up?", referring to the Legislative Council oath-taking controversy. He went on by asking "will the land and housing problems that have accumulated become easier to solve under a new leader or government? Will the cabinet continue to touch on vested interests in the property market with courage and determination, and amid difficulties, to solve the housing problems?"[36]

The pro-democrat professionals and activists also formed a loose coalition called "Democrats 300+" hoping to snatch over 300 seats in the Election Committee Subsector elections based on the common platform of opposing Leung Chun-ying's second term.[37] On 9 December, few days before the election, Leung announced he would not seek re-election, citing family reasons.[28] After Leung's announcement, Chief Secretary for Administration Carrie Lam, once said she would retire, announced she would reconsider running for Chief Executive.[11]
