Politics of Hunan

The Governor of Hunan is the highest-ranking official in the People's Government of Hunan. However, in the province's dual party-government governing system, the Governor has less power than the Hunan Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Provincial Committee Secretary, colloquially termed the "Hunan CPC Party Chief".
