CPC local committees reshuffle

Thirty-one provincial committees of the Communist Party of China reshuffled their respective leaderships through internal elections from the fourth quarter of 2011 to early July, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee said Monday.

The Party committees of 374 prefectures and cities, 2,789 counties and urban districts, and 33,368 townships across the Chinese mainland had elected their new leading officials from December 2010 to April this year.

The department described the local Party-committee leadership reshuffle as a success, saying the process had been running in an "orderly, sound and steady manner".
