From the very height of enhancing or improving the Party''s governing capacity, all localities have gone all out to spur
an essential, necessary reform with leading bodies, and scored substantial progress in this regard:
-- The posts of deputy Party secretaries have been trimed by a big margin. Except for a few individual regions, most Party
Committees at the
provincial, autonomous regional and municipal level usually set two deputy secretaries, 91 people less than during the previous term change re-election. And 79.4 percent of the cities and 84.4 percent of the counties now only have two deputy secretaries on their local CPC committees.
-- The number of posts for leading CPC bodies has lessened. The posts for CPC Committees at the provincial level were 21 fewer than for the preceding term-change re-election. The number of people of the leading Party organs at the three levels of the city, county and township are 149, 859 and 34,368 fewer respectively than at the time of re-election five years ago.
-- The number of cross posts of the Party and government institutions has on rise, so as to facilitate reducing the overlapping division of work among the members of the Party and government line-ups.
After the re-election, the average age of the members of Party Committees at the provincial, autonomous regional and municipal level was 52.9 years-old, half a year younger than at the time of the previous term-change reelection. the ratio of younger officials has also risen in the Party committees at the city and country levels with a relatively rational echelon age structure. Furthermore, the CPC committees at the provincial level have 369 people with higher education, making up 91.6 percent, or 14 percentage points higher that the re-election of the Party committees in 2002.
At the same time, inner-Party democracy was carried forward in the entire course of the re-election, from such procedures as recommendation, nomination and examination of candidates to the election of Party committees themselves. For recommending candidates to Party Committees in the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, an average of more than 570 people partook in the recommendation process in each province, each autonomous region or each municipality, or some 120 people more than in the previous re-election; the differentiate rate for the inspection of candidates to Party Committees at the provincial level has extended to 1:2.4 and the ratio for the selection of the Party Committee membership at the provincial, autonomous regional and municipal level has generally increased to over 11 percent.
The new line-ups of the CPC committees at all levels nationwide, which have been turned far more vigorous, diligent, trustworthy and seething with enthusiasm, are sure to rally around the CPC Central Committee with Hu Jintao as the general secretary to lead the people country-wide for new and greater contributions along a new journey of building up a relatively affluent society.
