A netizen asked me that he worked in a county-level agency and needed to arrange meetings of county leaders frequently, but he was confused about how county leaders ranked and was puzzled. He hoped that I would explain to him what rules are there for county leaders sorting. Many people think that there are no rules for the ranking of county leaders. They rank as the organization department arranges the ranking. In fact, this understanding is incorrect. The ranking of county leaders has rules and rules, and it is not the ranking of the organization department as it wants. Today I will report to you.
General logic of ranking of county leaders
Everyone knows that the county has four teams . The so-called four teams in the county refer to "county party, county people's congress standing committee, county government, county CPPCC". This sort is fixed and has its own internal logic:
First of all, the party leads everything, and the county party committee is naturally at the forefront. Secondly, the county people's congress standing committee is a power organ that elects one government, one committee and two courts in accordance with the law, and supervises it in accordance with the law. Third, the county government is the executive body of the county people's congress and the administrative body, so it is naturally ranked behind the people's congress. Finally, the county CPPCC is only an organization of multi-party cooperation and political consultation, and is naturally behind the county government.
Although the four teams are sorted according to the "county party committee, county people's congress standing committee, county government, and county CPPCC", the ranking of the main leaders will vary, namely the county party secretary, county magistrate, county people's congress standing committee chairman, and county CPPCC chairman. The reason why the county magistrate surpasses the chairman of the county people's congress standing committee is that the party positions at the same level are superior, because the county magistrate's party positions are deputy secretary of the county party committee, while the party positions of the chairman of the county people's congress standing committee are generally only members of the county party committee.
First talk about the county party committee standing committee members. The deputy leaders of the county party committee standing committee team include full-time deputy secretary and standing committee members. Among them, the full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee is the only one.
Secondly, in the order of the four teams, the county party committee standing committee members ranked ahead of the deputy director of the county people's congress standing committee, better than the deputy county magistrate and the vice chairman of the county CPPCC.
It is worth noting that this sort is sorted by the highest position. For example, the executive deputy county magistrate's party identity is a member of the county party committee standing committee, and must be ranked before the deputy director of the county people's congress, while ordinary deputy county magistrates must be ranked behind the deputy director of the county people's congress.
In addition to the four teams including the county party committee standing committee, the county people's congress standing committee, the county government, and the county CPPCC, there are four other special institutions, namely the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Supervisory Commission, the Court, and the Procuratorate. Among them, the county discipline inspection commission is the party organ, ranking ahead of the supervision committee, court, and procuratorate elected by the county people's congress.
At the same time, the county discipline inspection commission and the county supervision committee are one set of people and two brands. The county discipline inspection commission secretary and the county supervision committee director are all members of the county party committee standing committee and no longer repeat the calculations. As for the court, as the judicial organ, the ranking has always been before the procuratorate.
overall ranking order of county leaders
County Party Secretary, County Mayor, County People's Congress Standing Committee Chairman, County CPPCC Chairman, County Party Committee Deputy Secretary, County Party Committee Standing Committee Member, County People's Congress Standing Committee Deputy Director, Deputy County Mayor, County CPPCC Vice Chairman, County Court President, and County Procurator General. This is an overall ranking order, mainly ranked by positions, and it can stand the test in practical application.
Specifically, the county party committee member must be ranked first in front of the deputy director of the county people's congress standing committee, the county people's congress standing committee deputy director must be ranked first in front of the deputy county magistrate who is not the standing committee member, the deputy county magistrate must be ranked first in front of the vice chairman of the county CPPCC, and the county CPPCC vice chairman must be ranked first in front of the president of the county court and the procuratorate of the county procuratorate.
Some people say that their deputy secretary of the county party committee ranks before the county people's congress standing committee chairman and the county CPPCC chairman. This sorting should be very rare and does not conform to the general rules of sorting, because the county people's congress standing committee chairman and county CPPCC chairman are both at the department level, while the full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee is only at the deputy department level. According to the principle of sorting, it is impossible to rank behind the county party committee deputy secretary, because the county people's congress standing committee chairman and county CPPCC chairman are both at the real leadership positions, not at the ranks, so it is natural to rank before the county party committee deputy secretary.
The ranking of county leaders’ specific positions
The above introduces that the overall ranking is determined according to the position. So how should leading cadres in a specific position determine the ranking? This is also regular. For example, take the general county party committee member for example, the ranking is determined by the time to be promoted to deputy department-level leadership.
In other words, among the county party committee standing committee secretary, director of the county party committee office, director of the county party committee organization department, director of the county party committee propaganda department, director of the county party committee united front department, executive deputy county magistrate of the county government, and secretary of the county party committee political and legal committee, the ranking among them does not have the rules of sorting according to the level of positions they serve. That is, some people who did not understand before said that the county party committee secretary should be ranked first, which is purely the ignorant's fearless wrong view.
The rankings of these county party committee members are determined according to the time when they are promoted to deputy division-level leaders. It should be noted here that the ranking order is determined according to the time when they are promoted to deputy division-level leaders, rather than the time when they are promoted to county party committee standing committee members.
Of course, in some counties, there is still a situation where the county party committee standing committee is ahead, and whoever is ranked first is completely wrong and does not conform to objective reality. Because the communication between cadres is very strong now, many deputy department-level leaders communicate with the county party committee standing committee, but before that, he may have been a deputy director of a municipal department or other deputy department-level positions. If he simply sorts it by the time of joining the standing committee, it is extremely unfair to these cadres, because deputy department-level leaders are all practical and should be evaluated by the same standard.
In fact, this situation often happens. For example, in 2020, a town party secretary was promoted to a member of the county party committee standing committee during the county party committee change. At that time, a deputy county magistrate was the deputy county magistrate in 2018, but not the deputy county magistrate of the standing committee. When the term change in 2020, he was still the deputy county magistrate and was not promoted to a member of the county party committee standing committee. Then the ranking of the town party secretary was ranked ahead of the deputy county magistrate. But unexpectedly, in 2022, the deputy county magistrate was promoted to a member of the county party committee standing committee, so his standing committee ranking would be before the town party secretary, because he was already at the deputy division level in 2018.
There is also a very extreme situation. This situation will happen during the change of leadership, that is, the two people are promoted from the full-time department level to the county party committee standing committee at the same time. So how should they determine the ranking? The sorting of this situation is also regular, which depends on who the two people promoted , earlier, and who ranked high among the county party committee standing committee members.
The county party committee member ranks this way. By the same token, the rankings between the deputy director of the county people's congress standing committee, the deputy county magistrate of the county government, and the vice chairman of the county CPPCC are generally determined according to this rule.
But there is a special situation here, that is, if the county party committee member is removed from his position as a member of the county party committee due to age or other reasons, and turns to the county people's congress standing committee as deputy director or vice chairman of the county CPPCC, then his ranking will generally rank first among all deputy positions and will generally be appointed as deputy secretary of the party group. If two or more county party committee members are transferred to the county people's congress standing committee as deputy director or county CPPCC as vice chairman, their rankings will be determined in the order they were originally among the county party committee standing committee members.
Development prospects of county-level leaders
The top leaders of the four county teams are at the department level, and the other county-level leaders are all deputy department-level leaders. Although there is a certain sort among them, this does not mean that they will determine the order of promotions in the future in the future. In the actual operation, there are still certain rules to follow.
Generally speaking, county party committee secretary will be promoted to the county magistrate. In addition, since the county party secretary and county magistrate are both provincial-level cadres, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department can make overall arrangements across the province, and may also airborne a department-level leader as county party secretary. Generally speaking, they are the directors of municipal bureaus of prefecture-level cities or directors of provincial departments. They are all promising department-level cadres, and may even be deputy department-level leaders.The situation of arranging deputy department-level leading cadres is generally the deputy directors of the provincial and department departments. These deputy department-level cadres lack grassroots work experience and need to make up for their grassroots work experience, which is conducive to their further promotion and use.
. In addition to airborne, the source of county magistrates is generally promoted and appointed by deputy department-level county leaders. Generally speaking, it is extremely rare for the transfer of the county people's congress standing committee chairman and the county CPPCC chairman to be county magistrates, and basically no discussions are made, because leading cadres who are transferred to the county people's congress standing committee director and the county CPPCC chairman are generally older.
So among the remaining deputy division-level leading cadres, what is the order of candidates for promotion to county magistrates? The most likely one is the deputy secretary of the county party committee, because in addition to the top leaders of the four teams, the deputy secretary of the county party committee ranks fifth and is a very core team member.
Generally speaking, the county magistrate is vacant, and it must be selected among the deputy division-level leading cadres of the county. If the deputy secretary of the county party committee meets the age of the county party committee meets the requirements, there are no clues of violations of laws and regulations, or is not in the disciplinary period, generally, the deputy secretary of the county party committee will be given priority as the county magistrate. In recent years, this situation is the case. Although the deputy secretary of the county party committee is very likely to be promoted to county magistrate, it does not mean that this situation will definitely happen. In some places, the executive deputy county magistrate is also a strong competitive candidate for county magistrates.
I have been working for 15 years. According to my statistics, I have experienced 6 county magistrates in the 15 years of work, 2 of which are county magistrates airborne by the municipal bureau directors, one is county magistrate transferred from other counties, two county magistrates are promoted by executive deputy county magistrates, and one county magistrate is promoted by deputy secretary of the county party committee.
Let me report to you in detail here. When these two executive deputy county magistrates were promoted to county magistrates, why did the two county party committee deputy secretaries at that time not have the chance to be promoted to county magistrates?
First of all, the first deputy secretary of the county party committee who was not promoted to county magistrate was a little old at that time. He was already 54 years old. According to the convention at that time, the possibility of being promoted to county magistrate at such an age was very small. After all, the work pressure of the county magistrate is very high and the work tasks are very heavy. Generally, young cadres with a promising future must be trained.
Because the county magistrate is not the end of his development, he still needs to be further trained to be the county party secretary, so the county party secretary has no advantage. Finally, the organization department comprehensively considers relevant factors and combines the work recommendation of the county party secretary, and finally promotes a 45-year-old executive deputy county magistrate. The executive deputy county magistrate is young and strong, and has a full-time prestigious university. He is quite good at government work, especially economic work. Finally, the organization department promoted him to the county magistrate.
According to the general idea, the deputy secretary of the county party committee was originally ranked before the executive deputy county magistrate, and he should have the most chance to be promoted to county magistrate, but the organization did not promote him, and promoted the executive deputy county magistrate who was ranked behind him.
Everyone was also talking about it, thinking that he had not received organizational recognition. Moreover, the deputy secretary of the county party committee has always been a cadre who grew up in our county. He has worked as the mayor, the secretary of the town party committee, the deputy county magistrate, the director of the organization department, and finally the deputy secretary of the county party committee. He has a bunch of supporters and supporters, as well as some hard-core subordinates, and everyone stands up for him.
However, the deputy secretary of the county party committee is indeed very mature, experienced and steady. He did not complain publicly, nor did he bargain with the organization. He has always been a diligent work, at least on the surface. Later, after a few months, the county changed its leadership and he was promoted to the chairman of the county CPPCC, and he was dealt with at the level of the department, which was a relatively good ending.
Secondly let’s talk about the second deputy secretary of the county party committee who was not promoted to county magistrate. In fact, he was not old at that time, only 48 years old, while the executive deputy county magistrate at that time was only two years younger than him and was 46 years old. Both of them are not a problem in promoting county magistrates to age. According to ranking, the deputy secretary of the county party committee is obviously ranked before the executive deputy county magistrates. Both of them have full-time bachelor's degree.
According to normal order, the deputy secretary of the county party committee should have the advantage, but in the end the organization department did not promote the deputy secretary of the county party committee, but promoted the executive deputy county magistrate, which made everyone very surprised.
Later I learned about the relevant situation. It turned out that a year ago, the organization department wanted to arrange for the deputy secretary of the county party committee to help Tibet, but the deputy secretary of the county was not in good health, and the family burden was heavy. His mother was not in good health and was bedridden all year round. So he told the organization about his difficulties and politely declined the organization's arrangement suggestions. The organization did not say anything, and understood his choice.
But this incident left a bad impression on the organization department after all, and he thought that he could not obey the organization's arrangements at critical moments, so he was also disappointed with him. He thought that he could not overcome his difficulties. If he became a county magistrate, he would encounter many family difficulties, it would be difficult to deal with the relationship between work and life, and it would be difficult to achieve outstanding results in the county magistrate's tenure in the future. Therefore, after careful consideration, the organization department finally decided not to promote him. After
was not promoted, the deputy secretary of the county party committee was also discouraged and complained about the organization. He was also careless in his work, only seeking to live a decent life, not a strong life. During the change of leadership, he was communicated to the municipal department to serve as a deputy position, and in the end he retired as a deputy director.
or above is my analysis of the ranking and development of county leaders. This analysis is also applicable to solving the sorting problems of provinces, prefecture-level cities and even townships.
