Acting chief executive will hold question-and-answer sessions

Donald Tsang Yam-kuen plans to spell out the platform on which he will run for chief executive in a series of forums next month to enlist the support of Election Committee members.

A Hong Kong deputy to the National People's Congress said the acting chief executive would organise six to eight question-and-answer sessions.

Mr Tsang is expected to declare his candidacy for the election this week.

'Mr Tsang may also seek nominations from the committee members at these forums,' the NPC deputy said.

In January 2002, Tung Chee-hwa held four sessions for Election Committee members while preparing to run in his second election for chief executive. He was returned uncontested with more than 90 per cent support from the 800-strong committee.

The NPC deputy said Mr Tsang planned to explain his platform at consultative forums because he wanted to run a better campaign than his former boss.
