Chui Sai On, incumbent Chief Executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), was reelected for another five-year term on August 31.

Chui won 380 votes from the 396 members of the Election Committee who attended the voting. The Election Committee comprises a total of 400 members. The Central Government will carry out the process of appointment after receiving the formal report on the election by the Macao SAR Government.

Cui was the sole candidate in this year's election. At a news conference after the election, he pledged to fully implement the principle of "one country, two systems" while improving the livelihoods of Macao residents.

Born in Macao in 1957, Chui completed his Ph.D. in public health at the University of Oklahoma. He served as secretary for social affairs and culture of the Macao SAR Government from 1999, when the former Portuguese colony was returned to China, to 2009.
