Chapter 52: Seven votes against

It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to go a thousand miles, rumors about Li Xiaohe have been spreading, and Xu Jianjun has called to squeeze him.

When he first listened to Qin Mingsheng's speech, Li Xiaohe was also very angry, but after thinking about it, he calmed down.

Over the years, how have there been fewer rumors about yourself? It's just that the years when I was the director of the government office stopped a little. However, the county magistrate died suddenly, and he was immediately assigned to Shuangsheng Township, with the name of a "broken household", and the rumors never stopped. As the saying goes, "if there are more lice, you won't bite", and this one is not bad.

In addition, now everyone in the county knows that Qiao Cheng has been staring at himself and has always wanted to restrain himself from dying. It is certain that the source of the rumor will soon be put on Qiao Cheng and his minions, but instead of paying attention to the content of the rumor, most people will no longer believe in its authenticity. Of course, no matter what people think of these rumors in the end, the rumors will definitely have a bad reputation, but that is not under their control, and they can only be allowed to spread.

Li Xiaohe figured it out, and no longer deliberately paid attention to this rumor, but put all his energy into work, and at the same time always watched out for follow-up moves.

……

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was January 21.

Originally, this date was very ordinary, but the township people's congress was held on this day, and it became an important day in the political life of Shuangsheng Township. This day is equally important to Li Xiaohe, that is, at this day's meeting, the election of the township head will be held.

According to the provisions of the Election Law, elections must be held at least once a year at the township and township levels, and the people's congress will last for at least one day. Therefore, if there are no special circumstances, most of the township people's congresses will arrange one day, and some times it will be one and a half days.

The duration of the Shuangsheng Township People's Congress is set up to be one day, including the registration of deputies, including the holding of preparatory meetings, and the entire agenda of the formal meeting, all of which must be completed within this day, which can be described as a tight time and heavy tasks.

From six o'clock in the morning, the delegates began to report for duty. The staff distributed badges and materials to the delegates, collected the deputies' opinions and suggestion forms, and worked hard for a while. At seven o'clock, the whole registration work was over, and all the deputies went to the township government canteen to eat.

Beginning at 7.30 a.m., there will be a meeting of the conveners of the groups of representatives, followed by separate meetings of delegations, followed by a preparatory meeting with the participation of all delegates, and then the first meeting of the Bureau. After arranging the procedures of deliberation, selection, and voting, the presidium and secretary-general of the conference, the bill review committee, and the plan and budget review committee were elected; The plan of the delegates and the deadline for their opinions were adopted, the discipline training for the general election was carried out, and the draft of the meeting schedule, the list of non-voting personnel, and the list of executive chairmen were voted on.

Although the time was very tight, the township leaders saw the needles and immediately went to visit the deputies after the convener's meeting, plus walking and greetings, it only took a total of 10 minutes.

These meetings lasted a total of one and a half hours and were presided over by Zheng Licheng, chairman of the presidium of the National People's Congress, or the conveners of each group.

At nine o'clock, in the conference room of the township university, the first plenary meeting was held. The Executive Chairman of the General Assembly opened the General Assembly, and all stood up and sang the national anthem. As soon as the national anthem sounded, the atmosphere of the meeting became more solemn and *, and the meeting entered the official agenda.

The second item on the official agenda is the work report of the people's government by Li Xiaohe, the head of the township, and the financial work report will be submitted to the General Assembly in written form for review. For this report, Li Xiaohe has been preparing for a long time, striving to be accurate, objective, accurate and pragmatic. During the report, he not only read out briefly, but also explained some key points. It took more than 50 minutes for Li Xiaohe to finish the report and win warm applause. Of course, the warm applause does not mean that the report is wonderful, it is a courtesy, and it is also the delegates' performance.

The third agenda is a work report by Zheng Licheng, chairman of the Township People's Congress. Zheng Licheng also dressed up today with a special spirit, which is not only a respect for the meeting, an emphasis on the deputies, but also a conscientious performance of his duties. Except at this time of year, there are very few opportunities to go on stage, especially to preside over the entire conference. Zheng Licheng cherished this opportunity very much, not only after the special care of the instrument, but also during the report, it was also sonorous and powerful.

The two reports were finished, and the time was half past ten.

Immediately afterwards, the delegations discussed the two reports separately, and the second meeting of the Bureau and the meetings of the special committees were held at the same time.

Until 12 o'clock, the agenda of the morning session ended.

All the delegates took a group photo, and then the delegates had lunch.

After lunch, drink tea, smoke cigarettes, chat, and take a break.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting resumed, or group discussion and brewing, and the number of meetings was gradually accumulated.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the second plenary meeting of the delegation was convened to announce the official list of candidates for each position, and vote on the list of chief voters, total voters, and scrutineers, and then enter the election process.

Accompanied by cheerful and melodious music, the ballot papers were distributed to each delegate. Although it is only a name that corresponds to the corresponding option is crossed in front of the corresponding option, most people are very cautious and very careful; Not only should you look at the first name, but also carefully check the corresponding options, and then carefully tick the relevant areas.

With a unified order, all the delegates got up, lined up in the two rows of aisles, kept their distances in order, walked up to the rostrum, and cast their sacred ballot papers into the ballot boxes.

After Li Xiaohe finished voting, he returned to his seat and looked at the representatives who voted behind him. The people standing in front of the ballot box were all smiling solemnly, and their expressions were almost the same, and it was impossible to see the attitude of the voters. But Jia Xianglan's gaze was not friendly enough, and even had a hint of provocation, but Li Xiaohe did not have the same acquaintance with her, and the other party's expression was also expected.

After all the delegates voted, they entered the next step, supervised by the chief voter, and brought the ballot box to the designated room. There, the ticket count will be carried out by the chief voter, the total voter, and the scrutineer. With the exception of the above-mentioned persons, all other delegates remained in the large conference room and were ready to participate in the agenda below.

During the wait, most of the delegates were relaxed, whispering and chuckling. However, as one of the candidates, Li Xiaohe's mood was not very relaxed, and he was even a little worried about the election results.

For many meetings like this, elections are often just a procedure, and organizational intent is the key, just as important as the preparation before the election. In the history of Shuangsheng Township, there has been no record of candidates losing the election, and there has only been one accident in the election process of Siyuan County, which was more than ten years ago, which was the election of the county magistrate. The defeat of the designated candidate at that time made him disgraced, and his political career was bleak from then on, until he only enjoyed the current treatment and retired. And the elected county magistrate became synonymous with "conspirator", and two years later he was dismissed because of life problems, and people said that he was in trouble because he violated the rules of officialdom.

Although under normal circumstances, there would be no accidents in the election, but his arrival as the township chief was not a true embodiment of the intention of the superior organization, and it was just a way for Qiao Cheng to attack himself at that time. Of course, the organization's intention is not what Qiao Cheng meant, but Pan Min, the acting leader of the county party committee, has no friendship with him, and there is absolutely no need to offend Qiao Cheng for himself. Therefore, this "organizational intention" is really a question mark, and it is not impossible to create a bad record by yourself.

What makes Li Xiaohe feel more confident is that the entire election work is presided over by the presidium of the Township People's Congress, and Zheng Licheng is the chairman of the presidium. Zheng Licheng asked his brother-in-law Zhang Quan to give a speech twice, asking Li Xiaohe to rest assured that there would be no accidents, and the second time he gave a speech was yesterday morning.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaohe set his eyes on Zheng Licheng, and happened to meet the other party's eyes, both of them smiled, and everything was silent. Li Xiaohe's smile was more of a thank you, thanking Chairman Zheng for his support. Zheng Licheng's expression was very confident, and he clearly told the other party: Although rest assured, there will be no accidents.

Receiving Zheng Licheng's positive signal, Li Xiaohe felt a lot more relaxed, and couldn't help but laugh at himself secretly: It's not the first time to participate, as for being so nervous? It's too fragile.

At this moment, the staff came to inform the members of the Bureau to come to the next room for a meeting. Everyone knew that the results of the election had come out, and the members of the presidium had to know the secrets before they were invited to the next room, not on the podium.

After the members of the presidium came to sit down in the next room, Zheng Licheng, executive chairman of the presidium, announced: "Now the fifth presidium meeting is convened, and the chief voter is invited to make a report on the results of the vote counting of the chairman of the township people's congress, the township head, and the deputy township head." ”

Yue Haili picked up the paper in her hand and read it out: "Members of the presidium, after the process of voting on behalf of the people, scrutineers and tellers counting the votes, the election activities of this meeting have come to an end temporarily. At this meeting, the total number of delegates was 57, and a total of 57 ballot papers were issued and 57 ballot papers were returned. All ballots were filled in as required, and there were no overfills, underfills, omissions, etc., and there were no tears, damages, stains, etc. Therefore, all ballots are valid, and the entire voting process is genuinely valid.

Next, I will report to the members of the presidium the results of the vote count, Zheng Licheng, the candidate for the chairman of the presidium of the township people's congress, received a total of 55 votes in favor and two abstentions. ”

At the stage when the superintendent stopped reading with a smile, Zheng Licheng got up, bowed to everyone in the room, and said "thank you", but there was a trace of regret in his expression, obviously because of the two abstentions.

Seeing Chairman Zheng sit down, Yue Haili continued to read out: "Li Xiaohe, the candidate for the head of the Shuangsheng Township Government, received a total of 50 votes in favor. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiaohe's heart was relieved: I was chosen.

"Seven votes against." Yue Haili said the second half of the sentence

Seven votes against? Li Xiaohe "sighed" in his heart: he broke a negative record in Shuangsheng Township.
