Chapter 1036 Elected with a High Vote
Chapter 1036 Elected with a High Vote
Recently, because the shantytowns are to be built into ecological communities, Dongfang Wenjing is afraid that she will often come to Jincheng under the pretext of something, or simply stay there.
She is getting more and more gentle when she can see Zhao Jianhui often. With the increase of age, and because of her experience and knowledge, Dongfang Wenjing is no longer the little woman who leaves all the problems to Zhao Jianhui. It is also very challenging to be in the business world. Now Dongfang Wenjing has a calm temperament and has the style of a general.
On August 20, the third session of the Xichuan Provincial People's Congress held its first plenary session at the Provincial People's Hall. On the first day of the meeting, the work reports of the Provincial Government, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, the Provincial High People's Court and the Provincial High People's Procuratorate were heard.
The meeting was presided over by Zhang Huaiqiang, the Standing Chairman and Executive Chairman of the Presidium, and Vice Chairmen Wu Yuying, Wang Yadong, Duan Jiangnan and others sat in the front row of the rostrum.
Leaders of the provincial party committee and government, including Zhao Jianhui, Zhang Zheng, Ren Guangxin, Wang Zengtao, Zhou Xiaozhou, Le Yanchu, Li Jiafeng, Li Jialun, Liang Kaifeng, Jiang Qingping, Wang Yunxiang, and Gao Zhenzhen, attended the meeting and took their seats on the rostrum.
Liu Dong, member of the Political Bureau and State Councilor, Xiao Changrong, commander of the Jincheng Military Region, and some old provincial leaders took their seats on the rostrum.
Zhao Jianhui made a government work report to the conference. "Dear delegates: I am entrusted by the Standing Committee of the 11th People's Congress of Xichuan Province to report to the conference on my work. Please review it..."
Zhao Jianhui's work report received warm applause from the delegates. Liu Dong on the rostrum took the lead in applauding, sending a very clear signal that the central government does not want any accidents to happen at this people's congress.
The first day of the meeting was naturally uneventful and ended very successfully. But everyone knows that the gubernatorial election on August 24 is the highlight.
The 11th People's Congress of Xichuan Province currently has 889 representatives, and 825 representatives attended the congress. Jincheng Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel, Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Government Guesthouse, Yurun Huixing Hotel, and Huaxi Hotel have undertaken the task of receiving the NPC delegation. Each hotel basically has three to four city delegations.
In Beishan Villa, Ren Guangxin was in a daze, and the mobile phone sounded again. He looked at the number and answered it. A very solemn voice inside said: "Minister, the situation is not clear! Some groups have ambiguous attitudes. I have contacted some people, and most people's attitudes are vague..."
"Really? I know..." Ren Guangxin sat down, stretched out his fingers and pressed his temples, and sighed a little frustrated. He tampered with the list, of course, not to mention that he couldn't do it, even if he could do it, Zhang Huaiqiang would not be willing. The higher-ups would be even less willing. If Zhao Jianhui lost the election, I'm afraid that the higher-ups would immediately adjust the leadership team of Xichuan Province.
What he was thinking about was how to ensure Zhao Jianhui's smooth election while keeping the number of Zhao Jianhui's votes to a minimum.
He was not a member of the presidium of the conference, but there were one or two members of the presidium who could talk to him. But the news from the past two days was not good. I don't know what happened. Zhao Jianhui has only been in Xichuan Province for a few days, but he has a high prestige among the representatives. This is not what Ren Guangxin wants to see.
The Xichuan Provincial People's Hall was filled with NPC deputies attending the Fourth Session of the 11th National People's Congress. On the curtain of the rostrum, a giant national emblem was hung, and ten bright red flags were placed on both sides, which looked particularly solemn and sacred.
After voting on the list of the chief ballot counter and the ballot counter, the secret ballot for the governor candidate began. Looking at the NPC deputies filling out the forms, Ren Guangxin picked up the teacup, sipped it gently, turned over the red cover of the ballot, slowly crossed out the space above Zhao Jianhui's name, looked at it with satisfaction, and closed the ballot again. I can't control what others do, but I still have to do it if I can make things difficult for them.
At 11 o'clock, the voting began. The two chief ballot counters took the lead in casting their sacred votes into the ballot box. Then the representatives voted in turn, from the members of the presidium of this conference on the rostrum, to the leaders of the provincial party committee and government, and then the NPC representatives under the stage, who walked through the ballot box in turn and cast their solemn votes into the red ballot box.
Under the stage, the provincial TV station photographer slowly aimed the camera at Zhao Jianhui, and the beautiful female host Hua Lei's eager eyes also followed the camera to stare at Zhao Jianhui's face. Unfortunately, at this moment, Zhao Jianhui was calmly flipping through the documents on the table. Under the flash, he couldn't see that there was a pretty little girl under the stage praying for him silently in her heart.
Generally speaking, TV stations broadcast the opening and closing ceremonies of the National People's Congress more often, and broadcasting the election process live is selective and restrictive. At this moment, many pairs of eyes in the province were focused on the TV screen. In the luxurious room on the top floor of the Shangri-La Hotel, Ren Lihua was holding a cup of coffee while looking at Zhao Jianhui flipping through the documents with a faint smile on her face. "Look, look, if you don't look, you may never have the chance to look at Xichuan Province's documents again in the future, right?" She had been in frequent contact with the representatives in the past few days, and her husband's delegation would definitely not elect Zhao Jianhui. When she thought that Zhao Jianhui might lose the election, Ren Lihua couldn't help but chuckle.
Beishan Villa Building No. 2 had a different scene in front of the TV. Dafeng was wearing a beautiful pink home clothes, lying lazily on the sofa, with her white and tender feet resting on the coffee table, in an extremely sexy and seductive posture. Seeing the close-up of Zhao Jianhui on the TV screen, Dafeng opened her red lips slightly and hummed softly. Is this person the same man who went crazy on her last night?
Seeing the faint smile on Zhao Jianhui's mouth, Dafeng smiled along. Her sister is already pregnant, but she doesn't know when it will be her turn? Thinking about the man's cuteness last night, Dafeng felt a little fever on her face.
He naturally didn't know that Zhao Jianhui was very unusual last night, and he was really a little depressed. The news from Wu Yuying was that several delegations were secretly making small moves. In fact, for Zhao Jianhui, whether he was elected or not was not a big deal, but he couldn't afford to lose face. He also knew who was making small moves behind the scenes, and it must not be Zhang Huaiqiang's attention. If he loses the election, I'm afraid he won't have a good life.
Twenty minutes later, the vote counting was over. After reporting to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the chief vote counter loudly announced the counting results. The chief vote counter in a black suit said in a rhythmic voice: "There are 889 representatives in the 11th People's Congress of Xichuan Province, and 825 representatives attended the meeting, which meets the legal number. 825 ballots were issued and 825 ballots were collected. The election is valid. Among the collected ballots, 823 are valid and 2 are invalid. The results of the vote are reported as follows...^
After a pause, the whole audience was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Hua Lei's hand tightly grasped the microphone, not knowing that her palms were already full of sweat.
"The votes of the provincial governor candidate Zhao Jianhui: 649 votes in favor, 38 votes against, 136 abstentions..." With the high-pitched and passionate voice of the chief vote counter, Ren Guangxin's face immediately fell, and he picked up the teacup and drank water in big gulps. He didn't As a member of the NPC presidium, he did not attend the presidium meeting just now, so he naturally did not know the result.
Looking at Zhang Huaiqiang, he realized that Secretary Zhang seemed to have been frowning. Originally, according to Zhang Huaiqiang's estimate, the number of votes in favor was within 500 votes. This number of votes can not only ensure Zhao Jianhui's election, but also make his votes just over half.
Theoretically speaking, as long as it exceeds half, there is no difference between 500 and 649 votes, and neither affects Zhao Jianhui's formal election as governor. However, low votes and high votes are still different in people's minds. The number of votes is just over half, which means that you, as a comrade, are not doing very well.
Basically, he knows the representatives who will vote in favor. Some of them really support Zhao Jianhui, and some arrange their own votes in favor. As a person, Director, Zhang Huaiqiang still felt that he could control the NPC in this regard.
However, it turned out that he was wrong. This sudden surge of votes in favor was undoubtedly caused by the defection of people from several groups who were originally arranged to vote against, but they didn't know who they were. Such a result was unacceptable to him as the director of the NPC. And if you calculate it this way, the number of NPC representatives who truly support Zhao Jianhui is not a small number. There are more than a hundred extra votes for no reason. Where did these votes come from?
Looking at the series of numbers "649 votes in favor, 38 votes against, and 136 abstentions", Zhang Huaiqiang's face became extremely serious. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for the number of votes against to be more than the number of abstentions. However, in this election, it happened that There was a situation where the number of abstentions was higher than the number of votes against.
What does this indicate? This indicates that these people actually wanted to vote in favor, but due to some kind of pressure, they were unwilling to stand up and oppose, so they had to abstain.
This is not just a problem of not being able to control the People's Congress. It should be noted that the majority of the People's Congress representatives are party members, cadres and outstanding people from all walks of life. It may not be true that these people can represent the will of the people of Xichuan Province, but to a certain extent, they definitely represent the will of the power structure and vested interest groups in Xichuan Province.
In such a group, if Zhao Jianhui's support rate exceeds half, the problem will be a bit serious. What's more, this is not just a matter of more than half. It is reasonable to say that Zhao Jianhui was elected with a high vote, but in essence, it is no different from being elected with a unanimous vote.
Zhang Huaiqiang slowly turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jianhui. Zhao Jianhui was smiling and talking to Zhou Xiaozhou beside him. Zhang Huaiqiang glanced at them for a few times and then retracted his gaze.
This moment belongs to Zhao Jianhui's era. Under the stage, everyone was watching, and the flash cameras kept shooting at him. Wu Yuying, the executive chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, loudly announced the result of the election, and Zhao Jianhui was elected as the governor of the People's Government of Xichuan Province.
The moment the voice fell, the whole audience applauded, and the sound shook the sky. At this time, even Ren Guangxin and Zhang Huaiqiang had to smile and applaud vigorously.
Although this smile was against their will, at this moment, they had to suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts. Not to mention the row of cameras and cameras under the stage, the entire venue and even the entire Xichuan Province were all watching. At this time, a bitter face burst out, which was not disgusting to others, but disgusting to oneself.
Zhao Jianhui was destined to work hard in Xichuan Province and open a new page. He was so powerful all the way, and no one could stop him.
