Former Chief Executive and Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Liang Zhenying, was interviewed by Reuters today (3rd). When asked whether he would not rule out running for the Chief Executive again, Liang Zhenying said, "I will do my best to serve Hong Kong and serve the country."
In the 2012 chief executive election, Liang Zhenying was elected chief executive with 689 votes. During his tenure, incidents such as anti-state religion incidents, umbrella movements, and Mong Kok riots occurred.
Until December 9, 2016, Liang Zhenying announced that due to family reasons, he had given up seeking re-election, and his term of office would end on June 30, 2017.
In November last year, when Leung Chun-ying was interviewed by the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Viewpoint 31", he was asked if he would run for the Chief Executive again. He pointed out: "Currently none."
Until January this year, Leung Chun-ying said in an interview with "Hong Kong 01" that the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" and the "Basic Law" clearly stated that the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region can be selected through election or negotiation and be appointed by the central government. "If tomorrow Announcing that the chief executive change was negotiated, the British cannot say that we violated the "Sino-British Joint Declaration," and there is no need to modify the Basic Law and the NPC interpretation."
