China's top legislature on Tuesday declared the disqualification of 45 national legislators from Northeast China's Liaoning province for their involvement in unprecedented electoral fraud.

A report by the National People's Congress Credentials Committee said it believes that the acts by the 45 deputies violated the electoral law, and thus their election should be nullified by the NPC Standing Committee.

An NPC Standing Committee session that closed on Tuesday afternoon voted to unseat the 45 NPC deputies, who were elected from the Liaoning Provincial People's Congress, for vote-buying and bribery during the election in 2013.
