Wang Min, former top official of Liaoning province and a senior national legislator, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China and dismissed from public office for serious breaches of Party discipline, the country's top anti-graft agency said on Wednesday.

During his time as Party chief of Liaoning, Wang failed to properly supervise provincial elections and was responsible for serious election fraud including vote buying, according to a statement by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Wang was accused of using his position and power to assist others in matters including promotions and business in exchange for money and property, or benefits for his family, which constitutes the crime of bribe-taking, the statement said.
