What does a candidate need before contesting elections in China?
Answers
Answer:
In China, elections are regularly held every five years for electing the country’s parliament, called Quanguo Renmin Daibiao Dahui or the National People’s Congress. The National People’s Congress has the power to appoint the President of the country. It has nearly 3,000 members elected from all over China. Some members are elected by the army. Before contesting elections, a candidate needs the approval of the Chinese Communist Party. Only those who are members of the Chinese Communist Party or eight smaller parties allied to it were allowed to contest elections held in 2002-03. The government is always formed by the Communist Party.
Answer: No parties other than the Communist Party and the 8 allied parties were allowed at the elections, which took place from October 2012 to March 2013. The same nine parties are represented at the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
