Hong Kong's Beijing-backed leader, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, says he won't run again for the job after his current term ends next year, citing unspecified family reasons.
Leung, who was chosen by a panel of Beijing-friendly tycoons and other Hong Kong elites, made the surprise announcement Friday.
He is deeply unpopular in Hong Kong because of the hard-line stance his government has taken against pro-democracy activists.
