An election will be held in March 2007 to select the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. Only the 800 member Election Committee can vote. Donald Tsang is widely expected to secure re-election in a landslide.

The other candidate representing the pro-democracy camp is Alan Leong of the Civic Party. Leong expects to lose, but the main purpose of participating is to ensure Tsang does not win by default. Leong needs 100 nominations from the Election Committee to participate in the election.

The pro-democracy camp have 156 candidates contesting EC membership and is expected to win 72 seats. Add to that the 20 or so pro-democracy LegCo members who are ex officio EC members and Leong may be able to get the 100 nominations needed. [1]
