Chapter 55 The impact of the village general election on the school
The general election has been held in every village. The leading groups of the two committees of Huanting Village are no exception, and the village is also in full swing to prepare for the election. Huanting Village is a large village with a population of 4,317 and 3,132 villagers with the right to vote.
The village has a large number of surnames and many families. Therefore, in order to avoid problems in the election, the incumbent cadres in the village should do their job to ensure that the current election is carried out smoothly and that there is no favoritism or irregularities in the election process. In order to cooperate with the election in Huanting Village and reduce the number of people who deliberately make trouble and make trouble, the town government will send capable cadres and police officers from the police station to maintain order on the day of the election. The police station pays attention to and eliminates some unnecessary disruptive factors, so as to avoid that a very small number of villagers always like to make trouble and interfere with the normal conduct of the election during the election, and sometimes they will take the opportunity to cause trouble. These people with ulterior motives do not have their prestige and credibility recognized by the majority of the villagers, but they mainly encourage some villagers who do not know the electoral system and have a weak sense of the legal system to rise up and make trouble, and they themselves hide behind the villagers who do not know the truth, and they have only one purpose, that is, to interfere with the normal conduct of the election as much as possible, and as long as the election work is disrupted and messed up, as long as the election work cannot be carried out normally, they can be regarded as having achieved their expected goal. As for why they want to mess up the real motive and meaning of the election scene, they don't bother to weigh and think about it, and they are just picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
The pressure on the current two committees of Huanting Village mainly comes from the following two points: first, they are worried that some people in the village will be restless and guard themselves and make trouble; Second, the ideological pressure given to them by the town government is very great. The town government has given them a death order and asked them to give guarantees during the election process that there will be no problems and chaos in the process, otherwise they will be questioned. The town government is also worried that some villagers will make a disturbance in the course of the village elections, and this has happened occasionally in the past general elections of the two rural committees, especially in large natural villages, and this kind of thing needs special attention; once it happens, it will not only damage the image of the local government among the masses, but also be an insult and contempt for the ability of these ruling leading cadres. As a result, the leadership of the town government resents this phenomenon, and they often issue documents in the form of official documents in the run-up to the election to regulate these bad behaviors. On the day of the election, a group of public security officers and police officers will be dispatched to maintain the order of the household election. In the name of maintaining stability, in fact, it is for some people with ulterior motives. As soon as these people have a stir, they will immediately activate the plan to take them away without hesitation. In fact, the villagers are most afraid of these uniformed public security officers, and these uniformed people naturally reveal a majestic and fierce color, which makes people 'shudder'. Everyone knows that there is only one consequence of annoying them, and that is to let you go where special people should go. At least 10 days and half a month, or at most 1 year or 2 years, this is not the most powerful, but what is even more powerful is that the court can sentence you to one and a half years of "re-education through labor," and at the same time, some bad information will be stamped on your household registration book, which will not only affect your own personal political outlook, but will also harm your children and make your own children implicated.
Wang Jiyao and Lu Chonghu, the two main village leaders, were also the most tormenting and uncomfortable moments at this time. Secretary Wang Jiyao's mood is a little better, because he is an old village branch, and his votes come from the party members and cadres of the village, and he is not affected by ordinary villagers; And Lu Chonghu is the village director, his votes not only come from these party members and cadres, but also from the villagers' votes, only the majority of the villagers in the village recognize, he can continue to be re-elected, any link goes wrong, then he may lose the opportunity to be re-elected. Therefore, whether he can be re-elected at this time, Lu Chonghu is even more confident than Wang Jiyao. The last partnership between the two was quite tacit, although sometimes it is inevitable to intrigue, but on the whole, the cooperation between the two is quite pleasant.
During their tenure in the village, the distribution of power was also relatively reasonable. If there are no major problems, there is a high probability that this election will still be won. But there are never absolutes. Cases of temporary overturning abound, which is a lesson and an inevitability, and some of them have indeed lost the support of the people by not doing well; Some are not, they do a good job but lose because they do not have a strong clan to back them up, and they lose their advantage in the ballot, and the complexity and unpredictability of the countryside are often vividly reflected at this time; Or, sometimes someone secretly lays out in advance, and someone operates in the dark for them, and they don't know where they are defeated, and others have already won the game. As long as no one reports it during the election process, once the election is over, the government will recognize the legitimacy of the election, and the township and township departments will issue a letter of appointment to the village, and once the letter of appointment is obtained, the village cadres of the previous term must carry out the transfer of power.
With power in their hands, good cadres will be like a fish in water, and they can display their talents and skills to do good things for the villagers; And once someone operates in the dark, they will often invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources before the election to win the election. The motives of such elected cadres in the election themselves are not pure, and once they infiltrate the ranks of cadres, they will wantonly become corrupt, and they will recklessly seek personal interests regardless of the lives of the people. This kind of cadre almost annihilates human nature, realizes the power in his hands, has no party discipline and state law in his heart, and is full of desire for money and beautiful women, and will never wave his hand if he does not achieve the goal of making money. At this moment, it is the villagers of this village who are suffering. By the time the villagers began to wake up, the people were indignant and opposed, but they were already in the midst of 'dire straits'. Perhaps, such a village official will not be long in the future, and he will be severely punished by party discipline and state law. I am afraid that most of these corrupt village officials are inextricably linked to the superstructure, and after bribing certain officials from above, these officials will act as his protective umbrella, and they will want to cover up or recklessly, or simply ignore them, bend the law for bribes, retaliate, delay and fail to do so, and bring disaster to the country and the people! In short, there are solutions. Therefore, layers of protection and restrictions are imposed everywhere, so that justice cannot be served, and those who bend the law go unpunished, which greatly harms the fair and just rule of law system.
The order of election of the two village committees is that the members of the village committee are elected first after the party committee election. That is, the party members will first elect the leadership of the party branch committee within the party, and then the village committee will elect the leadership of the village committee.
Wang Jiyao sat in the office of the village party committee early today, and the secretary of the town party committee personally took charge of the work in charge of the election of the village party branch committee.
This election is also the same as the previous session, presided over by Li Sheng, secretary of the town party committee, the town also sent three cadres to cooperate with the election of the party branch committee of Huanting Village, the nomination of candidates was carried out the day before, a total of ten party members and cadres of Huanting Village were nominated, through the preliminary screening, it was decided to nominate eight party members for the election list, and the last two votes were eliminated again. These eight party members will be appointed by the party committee of the town government after the election, and among the eight selected cadres, the town party committee will appoint a secretary and a deputy secretary, and the others will be members of the village party committee.
Secretary Wang Jiyao unexpectedly lost to a young party member, Comrade Chen Yaoping, in this election. The accident brought his mood to a low point, and the results of this election will soon be transmitted through this office, and then most of the villagers in Huanting Village will know the news of Wang Jiyao's defeat.
Lu Chonghu is not a formal party member at this time, although he submitted an application for joining the party at the end of last year, but it takes a year for probationary party members to become regulars, and at that time, all party members need to be voted by secret ballot before they can go through the entire party membership process. In the final round of voting, if Lu Chonghu does not obtain the consent of two-thirds of the party members present, then he cannot be passed, that is, he cannot become a true party member. Therefore, Lu Chonghu is not even qualified to participate in this election of the village party committee.
Wang Jiyao's defeat was a heavy blow to Lu Chonghu. Even if the two have conflicts, after all, they have been partners for many years, and they have cooperated quite tacitly after all. In the four years since the two took power in Huanting Village, the number of criminal offenses such as villagers gathering to fight, participating in gambling, and fraud has been greatly reduced. But it's not extinct, and accidents are inevitable. I don't know why these party members and cadres gave Wang Jiyao a failing score in this election. Lu Chonghu didn't know how to comfort the old secretary Wang Jiyao for a while. Now that the dust has settled on the election of the village party branch committee, the town party committee will immediately issue letters of appointment to the new cadres. The election of the head of the villagers' committee had not yet begun, but Lu Chonghu had already felt a chill down his spine, and inadvertently revealed a chill.
