A preparatory panel set up to prepare for a new session of the Liaoning provincial legislature has convened in the northeast China province.

The panel was set up after electoral fraud was discovered, leading to the disqualification of 45 deputies from the province.

A National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee session on Tuesday voted to unseat the NPC deputies, who were elected from the Liaoning Provincial People's Congress, for vote buying and bribery during the 2013 election.

Given that of the 62 members of the Standing Committee of Liaoning Provincial People's Congress, 38 have been disqualified and no longer serve on the committee, the committee was unable to convene to perform its duties. The panel for the seventh session of the 12th Liaoning Provincial People's Congress was formed legally, within the limits of the Constitution, and will exercise some of the Standing Committee's functions and powers.

During the session, the panel emphasized the importance of choosing deputies in accordance with the requirements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the people's will and the demands of the work involved.

The seventh session of the 12th Liaoning Provincial People's Congress, the provincial legislature, will be held on Nov. 1 and elect new members to its standing, and other, committees.
