1 down, 3 to go in H.K. leadership race as Ip drops out

Regina Ip, a former Hong Kong security chief who first announced her election bid among other contenders for the chief executive post, drops out of the race on March 1, 2017, citing not enough support from the mostly pro-Beijing electorates. Three other official candidates will stand in the March 26 election. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
