The 20th CCP Politburo was noted as the first to include a former Minister of State Security and the first Politburo with no women in 25 years. It is also the first since 1977 to include the head of the United Front Work Department. It was also noted for the lack of officials with Tuanpai or Shanghai clique backgrounds, with nearly all members considered to be a part of the Xi Jinping faction. All members are Han Chinese, the majority ethnic group in the country. According to informal party convention, party leaders aged 68 or above are not eligible to remain in the Politburo but the 20th reelected three members past that age.
