Secretary for Administration and Justice Sónia Chan Hoi Fan said yesterday that the current systems to elect the chief executive and legislators are suitable for Macau.
Chan made the remarks when replying to an oral interpellation by directly-elected non-establishment lawmaker Au Kam San during a plenary session of the legislature.
In his interpellation, Au asked whether the government plans to reform the chief executive and Legislative Assembly (AL) elections, so that the chief executive election will ultimately be conducted by universal suffrage – one person, one vote, and that the percentage of the number of directly-elected seats in the legislature’s hemicycle will be gradually increased.
