The former president of Macau's Legislative Assembly, Ho Iat-seng, will run unopposed in its upcoming election for chief executive.
Ho submitted 379 nominations from the 400-strong Election Committee, making it impossible for anybody else to garner enough support to put themselves forward.
Election officials accepted Ho as the sole candidate in the election, which will be held on August 25.
Ho, an industrialist who has served in Macau's legislature since 2009, has called for greater cross-border cooperation and diversification away from the gambling-based economy.
He is expected to take over as the SAR's third chief executive when the former Portuguese enclave celebrates the 20th anniversary of its handover in December.
