Politics of Hengyang

Last updated

The Mayor of Hengyang is the highest-ranking official in the People's Government of Hengyang or Hengyang Municipal Government. However, in the city's dual party-government governing system, the Mayor has less power than the Communist Party of Hengyang Municipal Committee Secretary, colloquially termed the "CPC Party Chief of Hengyang" or "Communist Party Secretary of Hengyang".

Because of one party dictatorship and no political enemies, Hengyang has become a serious area of corruption. One mayor and three Communist Party Secretaries has been placed under investigation by the Communist Party's anti-corruption agency, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. [1]
