  • An unofficial member was a member of a colonial legislative council or an executive council, appointed by a governor to sit in the council(s) alongside with ex officio members. A senior unofficial member would be appointed by the governor from among the unofficial members. Unofficial members might also be appointed to unelected or partially-elected municipal and district councils, where there were ex-officio members. Currently the Executive Council of Hong Kong is still composed of ex officio members (official members since 1997) and unofficial members (non-official members since 1997). One of the non-official members is appointed by the Chief Executive (until 1997 the Governor) as the convenor (until 1994 the senior unofficial member).
