Veteran lawmaker Kou Hoi In is expected to become the new president of the Legislative Assembly (AL) on Wednesday, informed sources have told The Macau Post Daily.
The sources, who asked not to be named, said that Kou, born in 1953, was the most suitable replacement of Ho Iat Seng, who resigned from the legislature earlier this month so that he can run for chief executive in next month’s election.
Kou, who has been a member of the legislature since 1991, is its longest-serving member. He is an indirectly-elected lawmaker representing the business sector. A long-time business executive, Kou heads the board of directors of the Macau Chamber of Commerce. He is also one of Macau’s 12 deputies to the National People’s Congress (NPC) in Beijing.
