Answer
No one succeeded Chris Patten as Governor of Hong Kong because he was the last person to hold that position. On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong was transferred from British to Chinese sovereignty, and the position of Governor was abolished. The chief executive of Hong Kong, who is the head of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, replaced the Governor.
