On Sunday, Sam Hou Fai was overwhelmingly elected as the chief executive designate of the Macao Special Administrative Region, with the necessary appointment awaiting confirmation from the Central People's Government. He secured an impressive 394 out of 398 valid votes cast in the election, as announced by Song Man Lei, the president of the Electoral Affairs Commission overseeing the voting process.
According to the electoral regulations of Macao, an election is considered legitimate when at least two-thirds of the 400-member committee participates in the voting. For a candidate to win, they must garner support from over half of the committee members, which translates to a minimum of 200 votes.
As outlined in the Basic Law governing Macao, the chief executive is chosen by a representative election committee and subsequently appointed by the Central People's Government. This position carries a term of five years, with an allowance for re-election once.
