Politics of Henan

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