Xi Jinping re-elected president of the republic – mafrique

In China, Xi Jinping was re-elected, Friday, president of the republic for a third term, and this during a formal vote of the parliament, meeting in Beijing.

Xi was elected by the 2,952 deputies attending the 14th annual plenary session of the National People’s Congress (NPC, the country’s top legislative body). He was also re-elected chairman of China’s central military commission.

The leader, who was first elected to lead the country in 2013, had already been maintained in October 2022 in the post of secretary general of the central committee of the ruling Communist Party (PCC). Mr. Xi’s retention as head of the CCP marked a break with a rule that limited the term of the leader of Mao Zedong’s formation to two. This rule was introduced in the early 1980s following the death of the great helmsman Mao in 1976.
