ABSTRACT
The changes in the composition of the Central Committee were integral to the process of reforms. To become a viable leadership organ, the Central Committee had to become more representative of the sections of society whose politics and policies were benign to them, it proposed to articulate since economic reforms resulted in the birth of newer socio-economic forces. The system of electing the Central Committee was completely transformed at the 28th Party Congress. This issue had been raised prior to the 19th Party Conference. In accordance with the 19th Party Conference, the Party was to implement its political course through the Party members working in the organs of State power. The basic principles for the formation of the Central Committee were discussed and approved at a meeting of the council of delegations’ representatives. The most significant difference from earlier Central Committees was that different kinds of social and economic forces came to be represented in the Central Committee.
