he said. For politicians, body language is important
because it helps a politician to show their dominant power,
to influence people, to create positive images and
perception to the stakeholders. Consistency and congruency
between the non-verbal and verbal remain the most
important domain for political candidates.

John Tsang
Most candidates maintain a closed-lip smile when facing
the media. This could be seen clearly in the former financial
secretary when he resigned on December 12. Each
statement he gave, he paused for a while before continuing
to speak. His closed-lip smiles showed he did not want to
disclose more than what he would like to say, as he
declined to say whether he would enter the chief executive
race.

Regina Ip
In an interview with RTHKs The Pulse on December 16, the
chairwoman of the New Peoples Party was asked by
journalist Steve Vines if her candidacy had the approval of
the central authorities, to which she shook her head,
despite saying that no one had asked [her] not to run. Her
non-verbal cues therefore appeared inconsistent with her
verbal ones. This could be dangerous because people might
lose confidence in her over a statement made during the
campaign. In the beginning, she was not comfortable about
the topics that were discussed. As a result, she tried to
reduce her hand and upper-body movement. However,
when she was giving comment on the [election committee]
subsector elections, she started to open up herself and you
could observe that her hand movement increased.
Woo Kwok-hing
The retired judge announced he would run for the 2017
chief executive election in a press conference on October
26 this year. He visibly showed his anger when questioned
about his stance on Article 23 [the part of the Basic Law
which requires the passage of legislation against treason or
subversion], which he said was needed to ensure a more
harmonious Hong Kong. He became more assertive when
commenting on this sensitive issue in his speech. But a
good candidate remains emotionally stable. Perhaps having
a poker face or maintaining a smile helps candidates to

communicate better with their stakeholders.
Carrie Lam
In a press conference on December 2 about the 20th
anniversary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region, the chief secretary for the administration prepared
her script but she maintained more eye contact with her
audience, which was a contrast to the other candidates.
This gesture showed she was highly confident about the
subject she was presenting.
Leung Chun-ying
Speaking about the one country, two systems framework in
an address on December 7 this year, Leung applied the
right frequency of head nodding during this speech. He
nodded his head to emphasise words or terms he would like
to focus on, such as open minds, welcoming and double

benefits. But he read from a script and rarely made eye
contact with his audience, suggesting he was a very careful
person who did not want to make any errors in his
statement. He tried to mask his face with a neutral facial
expression. However, viewers could also observe a drooping
of his upper eyelids, a loss of focus in his eyes and a slight
drooping of the corners of his lips. All these facial
expressions hinted at his inner feeling of resignation for his
family, shortly before he announced on December 9 that he
would not stand for re-election.
