Chapter Eighty-Eight: Lifting a Rock and Shooting Yourself in the Foot
The election was held in the conference room of the village headquarters, and in order to prevent accidents, Wang Dakui specially arranged for Wang Liansheng to transfer a few loyal militiamen to guard outside the village headquarters and prevent ordinary villagers from watching. Cao Zhiyong, accompanied by Wang Dakui, entered the conference room and sat down directly on the rostrum. Rongshu Village is located in a remote area, poor and backward, the people can't eat enough, how can they have the heart to apply to join the party, so there are not many party members, there are a few party members or Wang Dakui in order to make up the number, forced several of his relatives to develop into party members, as a candidate, Duan Kefan naturally came, in addition to Wang Dakui's four doglegs, there are four people according to Wang Dakui just introduced is also his relatives, no matter how you look at it, Wang Dakui has an absolute advantage!
Duan Kefan sat in the middle of the stage, his eyes were calm, and he didn't show any cowardice when he saw Cao Zhiyong's majestic gaze sweeping over, which made Cao Zhiyong's heart more and more unhappy, and said in his heart, "You kid really think that if you hug the thigh of the county magistrate, you will be empty? The county official might as well be in charge now, in this acre and three points of land in Dajie Town, it has to be me Cao Zhiyong who has the final say!
Seeing Duan Kefan's calm appearance at present, Cao Zhiyong's mood was a little inexplicably irritable, and he turned to Wang Dakui on the side and said, "Everyone is here?......, right?
"It's all here, it's time to start......," Wang Dakui nodded hurriedly.
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting at the door: "We are also party members, we are here to attend the party member conference, let us go in ......", Wang Dakui stood up in surprise, and saw Wang Caihou with two old men who were about the same age as him pushed away the obstruction of the militia guarding outside and strode in!
Wang Caihou is the village party secretary of Rongshu Village, and of course he is also a party member, and the two old men who are about the same age as him are members of the branch of his village branch, but after the change, they no longer serve as branch members, and now they are ordinary party members. Wang Caihou and the three of them are all old, and they withdrew from the decision-making circle in the village after the change, and they have no sense of existence, and Wang Dakui has never held a party meeting since he served as the village party secretary, and he has the final say on everything, at most he will discuss it with his four doglegs and let them come up with ideas, so it is no wonder that Wang Dakui will forget Wang Caihou and the three of them.
However, Wang Dakui was taken aback and quickly made up his mind again, even if Wang Caihou and the three of them all supported Duan Kefan, plus Duan Kefan himself only had four votes, he still had an absolute advantage.
Cao Zhiyong glared at Wang Dakui fiercely when he saw Wang Caihou and the three of them coming in, Wang Dakui hurriedly whispered in his ear to introduce the identities of Wang Caihou and the three of them, and said in a low voice: "Secretary Cao, except for the three of them plus Duan Kefan, the others are all my people, you can rest assured, there is no way to go wrong......
Just now, Cao Zhiyong was really a little unsteady when he saw Duan Kefan looking like an old god, but now he was relieved to hear Wang Dakui's introduction, it turned out that Duan Kefan was relying on here, but so what, he still couldn't change the outcome of the defeat, so he waved his hand and pressed Wang Caihou and the three of them falsely, and said with a smile: "Since you are a party member, then sit down and have a meeting......
After Wang Caihou and the three sat down, Cao Zhiyong coughed dryly again, and pretended to be majestic: " Before the election begins, I will first say a few words on behalf of the party committee of Dapao Town, the village party branch is the most basic party organization of our party, and the higher authorities have always attached great importance to the rural grassroots party building work, the election of the village party secretary of Rongshu Village is a major event in the political life of the vast number of peasants in Rongshu Village, which is related to the overall development of Rongshu Village, and the secretary of the county party committee Peng is also very concerned about this election, and instructed me to resolutely follow the relevant regulations and procedures of the higher authorities on the election of the village party secretary, implement the requirements of the higher-level party organizations, strengthen the democratic political construction of Rongshu Village, consolidate the party's ruling foundation, promote the rapid, healthy, coordinated and sustainable development of Rongshu Village, and build a new socialist countrysideI believe that all the party members and comrades present here are highly conscious, and they will be able to fully understand the spirit of the higher-level party committee, and elect people with a high level of policy, obey the command of the higher-level party organization, and have prestige among the grass-roots party members to be the heads of Rongshu Village......"
Although what Cao Zhiyong said was clichés, he was actually hinting at the party members that Wang Dakui was his preferred candidate for the village party secretary, and even did not hesitate to play the brand of Peng Demin, secretary of the county party committee, as a deterrent.
The so-called secret ballot refers to the method of voting for election or voting, in which the elector or voter does not have to sign his or her name on the ballot paper or voting ballot, and personally puts the ballot paper or voting ballot into the ballot box, which is also to prevent the candidate from losing the election or retaliating against the party members who did not vote for him after being elected.
The organization officer of the town government who came with Cao Zhiyong sent the ballot paper to everyone, because it was a differential election, the names of Duan Kefan and Wang Dakui had already been printed on the ballot, and everyone only needed to tick the name of the candidate they liked, so everyone quickly completed it and voted the ballot box into the ballot box.
The last is the public voting link, the singing is also very simple, one person sings, one person scrutinizes, and then one person draws orthography under the names of the two candidates written on the blackboard, plus Wang Dakui and Duan Kefan, the party branch of Rongshu Village has a total of thirteen party members, so the singing was quickly completed, as soon as the results came out, Cao Zhiyong and Wang Dakui's faces all changed, eight to five, Duan Kefan led with three votes!
Wang Dakui's head banged, and his first reaction was: How is it possible? Duan Kefan and Wang Caihou only had four votes, which means that at least four people on his side betrayed him and voted for Duan Kefan! The key is that this time it was a secret ballot, and Wang Dakui couldn't figure out which four people betrayed him even if he wanted to break his head!
"No! There is a problem with the ballot! I ask for a re-election...... Wang Dakui jumped up suddenly, pointed his finger at the few people who would never have betrayed him, and roared: "Which dog days betrayed me! Wang Fugui! Is it you?! Or you, Wang Fusheng......
"That's enough!" Cao Zhiyong slapped the case with a grim face, pointed at Wang Dakui and angrily reprimanded: "Do you think this is a child's house? You said that the re-election will be re-elected? Today, the entire election process was carried out under the witness and supervision of me and all the party members of the Rongshu Village Village Branch.......
