HONG KONG, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong's chief executive since 2012, announced Friday he will not seek a second term in office in March elections.
Known as C.Y. Leung, he said he needs time with his family, and that his performance in office was not a factor in his decision. His term runs until July 2017, and although he did not elaborate on his family situation, it is known his daughter, 25, has been hospitalized for over a month for unspecific causes.
