President Hu Jintao (4th from left), general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and other top Party leaders attend the third presidium meeting of the 17th National Congress at the Great Hall of the People October 20, 2007. The meeting adopted the draft lists of candidates for the Central Committee and Central Discipline Commission of the Communist Party of China.

BEIJING, Oct. 20 - At least eight percent of nominees¹ have been eliminated in the primary elections of members and alternate members of the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection², Xinhua has learnt.

The margins³ are bigger than those at the 16th CPC National Congress in 2002, indicating a sign of progress of intra-Party democracy.

More than 2,200 Party delegates selected the candidates for members and alternate members of the Party's central committee and members of the central discipline commission on Friday and Saturday through a closed-door multi-candidate vote.

The candidates are waiting for a formal vote on Sunday at the concluding session of the 17th CPC National Congress.

The list and numbers of the chosen candidates are not known, but they will have a high chance to be elected, as was the case at previous Party congresses.

At the 16th CPC congress, ten nominees lost in the primary vote for candidates of central committee members, marking a 5.1 percent. Another seven people, or 5.8 percent of the nominees, lost in the vote for candidates of members of the central discipline commission.

The proportion of the dropouts in the primary election of alternate members of the central committee was 5.7 percent in 2002,which translates into nine persons.

"Only in competitive election can voters have choices. The increased margins between nominees and chosen candidates show that Chinese democracy has moved a big step forward," said Wang Guixiu, an expert on political reform with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

Competitive elections were first introduced to the 13th Party congress in November 1987, at which dropouts at the primary elections for members and alternate members of the central committee and members of the central discipline commission numbered 10, 16 and four respectively.

After that competitive election was written into the Party's Constitution to improve "intra-Party democracy."

Improving intra-Party democracy is the fundamental approach to promoting democratic governance and making the people really become masters of the country, said Tian Peiyan, a senior theorist with the Policy Research Office of the CPC Central Committee.

Intra-Party democracy is largely realized by the expansion of Party members' rights, more open elections and a fair official nomination⁴ mechanism⁵, Tian said.

As one remarkable⁶ signal, the loss margins in electing delegates to the 17th CPC congress were raised to 15 percent or above nationwide, five percentage points higher than that five years ago.

Noticeably, the margins in choosing delegates to provincial⁷ Party congresses now range from 15 percent to 30 percent in different regions.
