John Tsang would be Hong Kong's new chief executive if Young Post readers had voted
John Tsang is the students' favourite pick for chief executive.Later today, we should know who will be Hong Kong's next chief executive. And while Young Post readers have no actual influence over the result, we wanted to know who would lead us if they did.
We ran a mock poll every day for two weeks in the pages of YP. We asked you to place your vote for one of the three candidates, or nominate an alternative. Here are the results:
In last place was the alternative suggestion Andy Lau Tak-wah, with 1.4% of the votes.
Nearly three per cent of you (2.9%) thought former hopeful Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee should have stayed in and won the race.
Snagging a podium position in third was Justice Woo Kwok-hing with 8.6%. Beijing’s apparent favourite Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor came second with 17.1%.
And way, way in the lead, with a massive 70% of votes, is Mr Pringles himself, John Tsang Chun-wah.
