Chief Executive John Lee on Wednesday appointed Justice David Lok as the Chairman of the Electoral Affairs Commission (EAC) for a term of three years with effect from September 1.

He will take over from Justice Barnabas Fung, who had been in the position since 2009.

A government spokesperson said the administration is very pleased that Lok had accepted the appointment.

Lok has been serving as a judicial officer for about 27 years in different courts and tribunals, and had also served on various boards and committees.

The spokesman said the government is confident that the EAC will be able to duly discharge its duties under Lok’s leadership.
