Carrie Lam resigned in 2017 to serve as Secretary for Home Affairs

When Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor resigned as Chief Secretary in 2017, the then Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Cheung Kin-chung, acted as Chief Secretary, but this time, no Secretary has acted as Chief Secretary.

This morning (6th), the Liaison Office met with the election committee to convey the latest instructions. The news stated that Li Jiachao was the only candidate to support him. The relevant parties called on the election committee to support him. Some "national team" election committees indicated that they would nominate Li Jiachao within a few days.

It is reported that the election committee who originally supported Liang Zhenying, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, will also support Li Jiachao.

Lu Wenduan, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, attended a meeting with the Liaison Office this morning (6th). When he was inquired by "Hong Kong 01", he said that Li Jiachao was the candidate for the chief executive. He pointed out that the "Macau model" is the most suitable for the situation in Hong Kong, that is, one person can participate in the election, because Hong Kong is still fighting the epidemic, and the election time is relatively rushed.

Zhang Zhigang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who is regarded as a "Liang Fan" by the outside world, simply replied to "Hong Kong 01": "I support Mr. Li Jiachao's candidacy for the next Chief Executive."



Li Jiachao joined the police force in 1977 and was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Police in 2010. He gave up his British nationality and became the Deputy Secretary of the Security Bureau in the Leung Chun-ying government. After that, his career progressed rapidly. After Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor was elected as the Chief Executive in 2017, Li Jiachao was promoted to the Secretary of the Security Bureau.

In June 2021, Li Jiachao succeeded Zhang Jianzong as Chief Secretary for Administration, becoming the first Chief Secretary for Administration from the police force.

If he goes to the next level and is successfully elected as the chief executive, he will be the first chief executive from the disciplined services.
