In the final stretch of his run for the city’s top job.

has recruited about 150 political and business heavyweights to steer his campaign in the final stretch of his run for the city’s top job, putting together a team triple the size that advised the current leader during her bid five years ago.

They were among 58 heavyweights named as advisers to Lee’s campaign, according to the list published by his election office. The chief executive candidate’s bid will also feature a 90-member presidium, or council of chairpeople.The presidium will include entertainment tycoon Allan Zeman, as well as Henry Tang Ying-yen and Anthony Wu Ting-yuk, both standing committee members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference , the nation’s top advisory body.

“The advisers are like honorary representatives, while the council of chairpeople serves as an advisory board that can provide insights. Both groups will be beneficial to the drafting of Lee’s political platform and other work in the future,” he said. In February 2017, less than two months before the previous election, then leadership candidate Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor assembled a campaign team of 49 people, comprising a 12-member presidium, 26 senior advisers, and 11 directors and deputy directors.

“It’s not just about art, it should be turned into an industry that creates a lot of job opportunities,” he said.
