Liu Fengyan Inner party democracy Out of the nearly 200 Central Committee that was elected by the Congress, it is possible to judge from the number of votes cast in favour the delegates who lacked support in the party.
Huang Ju, who was made Vice-Premier in 2003, had the fewest votes in favour, with more than 300 delegates voting against him. Others in the bottom seven, in order from least popular, were
Li Changchun (CCP propaganda chief),
Zhang Gaoli (then
Shandong Party Chief),
Jia Qinglin (
CPPCC Chairman),
Xi Jinping (then
Zhejiang Party chief), Li Yizhong, and
Chen Zhili (made State Councilor). Shanghai party chief
Chen Liangyu ranked tenth from last, while Beijing party chief
Liu Qi ranked twelfth from last. == Policy changes ==
