Liang Guanglie, Chen Bingde, Li Jinai, Liao Xilong, Chang Wanquan, Jing Zhiyuan, Wu Shengli and Xu Qiliang were approved to be CMC members.

Through secret ballot, Wang Shengjun was elected president of the Supreme People's Court, while Cao Jianming was elected procurator-general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

China's Constitution stipulates that the candidate for premier of the State Council shall be nominated by the president of the state, and the candidates for vice-chairmen and members of the CMC shall be named by the CMC chairman. All the candidates are subject to voting at the National People's Congress (NPC), the parliament.

A total of 2,968 NPC deputies attended the sixth plenary meeting of the First Session of the 11th NPC on Sunday.
