BBC NEWS Hong Kong head 'is stepping down' Hong Kong's chief executive Tung Chee-hwa has decided to resign for personal reasons, according to local press reports.
Mr Tung, 67, took over as leader of the former British colony when it reverted to Chinese rule in 1997.
Last year, Hong Kong saw massive pro-democracy protests, as Mr Tung became increasingly unpopular. His term of office is due to end in 2007.
Media reports say that his deputy, Donald Tsang, will now take over.
Chinese and English-language newspapers in Hong Kong said that ill health was the reason for Mr Tung's resignation, which, it is reported, has already been accepted by China's Communist Party politburo. |
