Lawmaker-cum-banker Alan Ho Ion Sang was elected second secretary of the executive board of the Legislative Assembly (AL) by his peers yesterday, succeeding legislator-cum-educator Chan Hong who was elected the board’s first secretary late last month.
The Legislative Assembly currently has 32 members after chief executive candidate Ho Iat Seng resigned from the legislature early last month.
Alan Ho, a directly-elected legislator, received 25 of the 32 votes cast. Three votes were left blank, while four lawmakers each got one vote – directly-elected lawmaker-cum-unionist Ella Lei Cheng I, indirectly-elected lawmaker representing the city’s professional sector Chan Iek Lap, indirectly-elected lawmaker representing the cultural and sports sector Vitor Cheung Lup Kwan, and appointed lawmaker Ma Chi Seng.
