A LIST of candidates for the Party's new Central Committee was handed to delegates to the on-going 18th National Congress in Beijing yesterday ahead of a vote to select China's new leadership.
The margin for today's election of committee members is slightly more than 8 percent, meaning there are 108 candidates for every 100 seats, the Party said. Of 2,268 delegates, about 200 will be elected, along with their alternates.
The Central Committee will then elect the 25-member Political Bureau and its Standing Committee.
The draft name-lists of candidates for members and alternate members of the new CPC Central Committee and of candidates for members of the new Central Commission for Discipline Inspection were approved at the third meeting of the presidium of the 18th CPC National Congress yesterday morning.
The presidium's second meeting on Saturday approved the proposed name-lists of nominees for the candidates of members and alternate members of the 18th CPC Central Committee, and members of the CCDI.
Delegations had been deliberating on the proposed name-lists since Sunday.
Delegates held that the proposed name-lists were formed on the basis of full intra-Party democracy. It was agreed that the overall structure of the lists was reasonable and the nominees have fine ethical and political quality, outstanding work performance and high public support.
On Monday afternoon and yesterday morning, all delegations held meetings and carried out preliminary elections for the candidates.
