Liaoning elects 447 new legislators
Print Edition
A total of 447 new provincial legislators have been elected to the provincial legislature in Liaoning Province, one month after allegations of electoral fraud led to the removal of most of the legislature’s members.
The second meeting of a preparatory panel, set up to prepare for a new session of the provincial legislature, on Friday confirmed the qualifications of the new deputies to the 12th Liaoning Provincial People’s Congress. They were elected on Tuesday and Wednesday in 14 cities in the province. The 12th congress now has 594 deputies.
The by-elections for lawmakers were carried out in Liaoning after an election fraud scandal in January 2013 that implicated 523 deputies to the local congress. They either resigned or had their qualification as deputies terminated. Forty-five national lawmakers from Liaoning were disqualified due to the fraud.
The second session of the preparatory panel stressed the purification of the political environment in Liaoning to strive for rejuvenation of the old industrial base.
