Wang Qishan was elected as deputy to the 13th National People's Congress (NPC), the country's top legislature. He is one of the 118 deputies elected on Monday from central China's Hunan Province.

Wang, 69, is a former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, and was head of the anti-corruption body of CPC, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), before Zhao Leji took over in October.

The NPC is scheduled to convene its annual plenary session in early March.
