Wang Dongfeng was elected mayor of north China's Tianjin Municipality on Sunday, local authorities announced.
The election was held at a session of the Tianjin People's Congress, the city's legislative body.
Wang was appointed acting mayor of Tianjin in mid September after former mayor and acting Party chief Huang Xingguo was investigated over allegations of "serious disciplinary violations."
Wang, 58, is a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.
