The Communist Party of China's (CPC) Organization Department on Friday published penalties meted out to three local officials for "violating the rules of leadership reorganizations".
Former finance bureau director of Hengnan County, central China's Hunan Province, has been stripped of his post for offering bribes in a leadership reshuffle and is awaiting further punishment.
The official, who was only identified with by his surname He, offered 1,000 yuan (138 U.S. dollars) in September last year to each of the local officials with right to endorse his nomination as vice-county magistrate.
Former women's federation director of Dancheng Township in Woyang County, east China's Anhui Province, was dismissed from her post for giving gifts worth a total of more than 5,000 yuan to more than 30 township legislature delegates in January 2007 to get elected as vice township head.
The official surnamed Jing achieved her aim on Jan. 10 last year. Her election was nullified after her misconduct was brought to light.
She got a two-year jail sentence with a two-year reprieve in August for sabotaging an election. Seven others involved in the case received criminal, Party or administrative penalties.
In a separate case, an official surnamed Gao in Pingdingshan city, central Henan Province, received a Party warning in April 2007 for making a rush to promote 25 of his subordinates after he was notified he was going to be promoted and take the post as a secretary of a county Party committee.
The Organization Department hoped the cases could serve as a warning to officials involved in ongoing local leadership reorganizations.
China is going through nationwide leadership elections and reshuffles of legislatures, governments and political advisory bodies at provincial level in the first half of this year as many officials complete their five-year terms.
