The Hong Kong Chief Executive election of 2012 was an election held on 25 March 2012 to select the Chief Executive of Hong Kong by a 1200-member Election Committee ("EC") to replace the incumbent Chief Executive, Donald Tsang, who was barred from seeking a third term pursuant to the Basic Law of Hong Kong. The winner was Leung Chun-ying ("CY Leung"), former convenor of the Executive Council, who defeated former Chief Secretary for Administration Henry Tang and Democratic Party legislator Albert Ho. The fourth Chief Executive term began on 1 July 2012. The campaign was marked by scandals, dirty tactics and smears from both Tang's and Leung's sides.〔〔So, Peter (21 March 2012). "Managing the chief executive election campaign". ''South China Morning Post''〕 == Eligibility, affiliation and election mechanism== According to Article 44 of the Basic Law, the Chief Executive must be a Chinese citizen〔Basiclaw.org.hk.

The individual must be at least 40 years old, and has ordinarily resided in Hong Kong for a continuous period of no less than 20 years.〔 Article 47 further requires that the Chief Executive be a person of integrity, dedicated to his or her duties.〔 The 1,200-member Election Committee in which was elected in the 2011 Election Committee Subsector Elections, which commenced its term of office on 1 February 2012, is composed of 1,044 members elected from 35 subsectors, 60 members nominated by the religious subsector and 96 ex-officio members, who are members of the Legislative Council or Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress. The election committee has no legitimacy in the eyes of the general public, according to Christine Loh.〔 Nominations for the 2012 election opened on 14 February, and closed on 29 February. Each candidacy for Chief Executive must be supported by at least 150 nominations from members of the Election Committee; no EC member may nominate more than one candidate.〔 The election proper takes place by secret ballot, with each EC member having one vote, on 25 March 2012. The successful candidate shall have secured valid votes from more than half the total stipulated number of members, namely 601 votes. If the first round of voting fails to give rise to an outright winner, a second round of voting shall be held the same day after eliminating the lowest-scoring candidate. If a second round still fails to produce an outright winner, the election will be re-run. For this, nominations will reopen, and balloting will take place six weeks later – in this case on 6 May. Under current laws, candidate are not required to disclose their political affiliations; however, section 31 of Chief Executive Election Ordinance (Cap 569) stipulates that a person elected as the Chief Executive must "publicly make a statutory declaration to the effect that he is not a member of any political party".〔(LCQ2: Elections ordinances ), Hong Kong Government, 18 January 2012.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hong Kong Chief Executive election, 2012」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
