New Delhi, Oct 22: President Xi Jinping is getting ready to preside over the most dramatic moment of the Communist Party’s twice-decade event and announce the members of its exclusive Politburo Standing Committee before being elected as the party’s leader as China’s week-long Communist Party gathering comes to an end.
2,300 party delegates will ratify a reorganisation of the party’s senior leadership during the closing ceremony at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, capping off a week of essentially rubber-stamp meetings.
Following the inaugural meeting of the newly elected Central Committee, a 200-member committee of the party’s top officials, Xi is anticipated to be appointed general secretary on Sunday.
As a result, Xi will be able to easily win re-election to a third term as China’s leader, which is scheduled to be revealed in March at the government’s annual parliamentary sessions.
The two-term presidential term limit was eliminated by Xi in 2018, allowing him to rule indefinitely.
The new Central Committee will also vote on the weekend to ratify a revised 25-member Politburo as well as a Politburo Standing Committee, which would consist of about seven members and will be dominated by supporters of Xi.
