Lawmaker-cum-activist Sulu Sou Ka Hou told a press conference yesterday that he has proposed a bill to amend the Chief Executive (CE) Election Law with the aim of avoiding a single CE candidacy, and in the case that there is only one candidate, the nomination process should be restarted until there are at least two candidates to choose from.
The non-establishment New Macau Association (NMA) held a press conference yesterday at his office in Rua do Tarrafeiro in the Inner Harbour area about his bill to amend the CE Election Law.
Sou said that except for the first CE election which had two candidates (bankers Edmund Ho Hau Wah and Stanley Au Chong Kit), there was only one candidate in the three following CE elections, a situation that was “uncommon” worldwide.
