A senior Party official said here Wednesday that the loss margin in the coming election of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has not been decided.

Ouyang Song, vice head of the CPC Central Committee Organization Department, said at a press briefing Wednesday afternoon that the electoral procedures are still under discussion among about 2,200 delegates to the ongoing 17th CPC National Congress.

But he assured that candidates for the Central Committee membership or alternate membership would be more than the seats.

Members of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau will be elected by the newly-elected Central Committee, Ouyang said.
