The Macau Federation of Trade Unions (MFTU)[a] is a pro-Beijing, leftist, labour and political group in Macau.[1] It is the largest and most influential labour group in the city, with over 50,000 members in 43 associated trade unions.[2] Presided by Ho Sut Heng[3] and chaired by Lee Chong Cheng,[4] it currently holds three seats in the Legislative Assembly. History The MFTU is one of the three major pro-Beijing organisations which have dominated politics in Macau since the 1999 handover, the other two being the Macau Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macau.[5] Four members of the MFTU were elected or appointed to the Legislative Assembly in the 2021 legislative election. They were Lam Lon Wai, Lei Chan U, Ella Lei Cheng I, and Leong Sun Iok.[6] Election results Election Votes % GC seats FC seats Total seats +/− 1992 6,543 23.75 2 2 4 / 23 —N/a 1996 10,525 14.52 1 2 3 / 23 Decrease 1 2001 12,990 16.04 2 2 4 / 27 Increase 1 2005 16,596 13.29 2 2 4 / 29 Steady 0 2009 21,098 14.88 2 2 4 / 29 Steady 0 2013 11,960 8.16 1 2 3 / 33 Decrease 1 2017 16,696 9.67 2 2 4 / 33 Increase 1 2021 23,761 17.99 2 2 4 / 33 Steady 0 2025 27,431 16.91 2 1 3 / 33 Decrease 1 Elected members Tong Chi Kin, 1992–2001 Fernando Chui, 1992–1996 Leong Iok Wa, 2001–2005 Kwan Tsui Hang, 2005–present Lee Chong Cheng, 2009–2013
