Politics of Xiangtan
# Politics of Xiangtan

The Politics of Xiangtan in Hunan province in the People's Republic of China is structured in a dual party-government system like all other governing institutions in mainland China.

The Mayor of Xiangtan is the highest-ranking official in the People's Government of Xiangtan or Xiangtan Municipal Government. However, in the city's dual party-government governing system, the Mayor has less power than the Communist Party of Xiangtan Municipal Committee Secretary, colloquially termed the "CPC Party Chief of Xiangtan" or "Communist Party Secretary of Xiangtan".
