The nomination period for the 5th chief executive election runs until July 23 and three potential candidates, former Legislative Assembly president Ho Iat Seng, the owner of the Macao Iao Kei Motor Air-conditioning & Engineering Company, Chan Weng Fu, and unemployed resident Lei Oi Chi picked up their nomination forms yesterday, the first day for the forms to be handed out.
According to a Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau (SAFP) statement, people who are interested in running for chief executive may personally or through a designated representative pick up the nomination forms and return the forms until July 23.
A precandidate must obtain at least 66 nominations from the 400 members of the Chief Executive Election Committee to become a formal candidate able to run in the election.
