The nomination period for the chief executive election is coming to an end. Li Jiachao, who resigned as the chief secretary to run for the election, has been actively nominated by a large number of election committees. As of last night, more than 700 nomination votes have been obtained, and he officially registered for the election this morning (13th).
Under the new electoral system, the number of electoral committees has increased to 1,500. Even in the "one-person model", candidates still need to obtain more than 750 votes to be elected. Did Li Jiachao's nomination votes exceed the threshold for election?
Someone in the campaign office said that there are "a lot of" nomination votes, and the target is only about 500, but the election committee is flocking to nominate, and the team is still verifying the exact number.
Li Jiachao held an online exchange meeting to listen to the opinions of the electoral committee.

Tung Chee-hwa won 762 nominations in 2002, with a ratio of 95.3%
The ratio of nomination votes in previous chief executive elections varies. For example, in the 2002 chief executive election, there were only 800 election committee members, and Tung Chee-hwa received 762 nomination votes, a proportion of 95.3%, and he was automatically elected without competition.
In 2005, when Tung Chee-hwa resigned due to his "feet pain", Tsang received 674 nomination votes, accounting for 84.3%, and was also elected without competition.
The Legislative Council amended the Chief Executive Election Ordinance in 2006 to include a vote of confidence system, even if one person stands for election, he still needs to vote.
At the same time, the pan-democrats encouraged to nominate one more candidate to enter the gate to promote competition, so more than one person entered the gate in the 2007, 2012 and 2017 elections.
In 2007, the proportion of Tsang nominations with competition also reached 80.1%
In 2007, Donald Tsang fought for re-election and won 641 nomination votes, accounting for 80.1%, while his rival, Citizen Party Liang Jiajie, had 132, accounting for 16.5%.
Tang Yingnian has more nomination votes than Leung Chun-ying
In the 2012 chief executive election, the two establishment candidates fought hard and thinned the electoral committee's nomination votes.
There were a total of 1,200 electors in the election. Tang Yingnian, who broke the arrogance at the time, won 390 nominations, accounting for 32.5%. His opponent, Leung Chun-ying, had only 305 nominations, accounting for 25.4%. He Junren, who represented the pan-democrats, had 188 nominations.
Tang Ying and Liang Ying attacked each other.
As of 2017, Lin Zhengyue, who has been blessed by the central government, has won 580 nomination votes, accounting for 48.3%, only 20 votes away from the threshold of being elected; former wealthy Tsang Junhua has 165, accounting for 13.8%, and former judge Hu Guoxing has 180 , the ratio is 15%.
If Li Jiachao has more than 725 nominations, the ratio will exceed that of Carrie Lam in 2017
In this election, only Li Jiachao can enter the gate to participate in the election. At present, among the more than 1,400 election committees, Li Jiachao said that he has won more than 700 nomination votes, but did not specify whether it exceeds 750 votes, the threshold for being elected.
Li Jiachao registered at the City Hall in Central this morning. If there are more than 725 nomination tickets, the ratio will exceed that of Carrie Lam in 2017.
Unlike previous elections, candidates are required to obtain at least 15 nominations from each of the five sectors.
Some people in the establishment bluntly stated that whether they submit 725 votes or 751 votes, it will have no effect on the election results, because only one person is running for the election this time, but public perceptions should be considered. After considering some policies and reviewing the platform, he nominated him, but Li Jiachao has now become "popular".
