China's Constitution stipulates that the candidate for premier of the State Council shall be nominated by the president of the state, and the candidates for vice-chairmen and members of the CMC shall be named by the CMC chairman. All the candidates are subject to voting at the National People's Congress (NPC), the parliament.

A total of 2,968 NPC deputies attended the sixth plenary meeting of the First Session of the 11th NPC on Sunday.
