The nomination period for the Election Committee subsector election ends on Thursday (12th). This year's five major local consortia sent at least 42 people to participate in the election, including the second and third generations of the consortiums.
In the last election, the long-term and Wheelock background elections were the largest, each with 9 seats. However, the number of candidates for both elections this year has decreased, and new powers have replaced the leading election committees.
The voting status of Hong Kong real estate developers in the past has a certain influence on the candidate for the next chief executive. In the 2016 Election Committee election, the five major consortia including Changhe Department, New World, Wheelock, Sun Hung Kai and Henderson held at least 41 votes.
In the face of the democrats' attack and seizure of seats in multiple sectors, the votes in the hands of the business community have become important enough to influence the results of the chief executive election.
This year's Sun Hung Kai has the most background and related candidates, with a total of at least 12 people, followed by Henderson with at least 9 people.
As Li Ka-shing stated that he would only continue public welfare affairs after his retirement, and no longer participate in the election committee, only 7 people from the Changhe Department and related parties participated in the election this year, which is at least two seats less than the 9 election committees elected in the previous term.
In addition, many consortia this year sent the second and third generations to participate in the election.
For example, Li Ka-shing's two sons, Li Zeju and Li Zekai, will continue to select committee members along the fifth sector of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the first sector of the Hong Kong Employers’ Federation.
Other examples include Guo Jihui, executive director of Sun Hung Kai, Zheng Zhigang, executive vice chairman and chief executive officer of New World, and Li Jiacheng, chairman and managing director, all running for the election in the real estate and construction industries.
