Announcement comes as chief secretary John Lee is set to join the race to replace chief executive
Leader Carrie Lam, who has governed the global financial hub through the unprecedented upheaval of antigovernment protests and Covid-19, said on Monday she will not seek a second five-year term of office.
“There’s only one consideration and that is family. I have told everyone before that family is my priority in terms of my consideration. They think it’s time for me to go home,” Lam told a regular press briefing. Two years later, millions took to the streets in sometimes violent antigovernment protests that ultimately led Beijing to impose a sweeping national security law in June 2020, giving it more power than before to shape life in Hong Kong.
