Yao Lifa (Chinese: 姚立法; pinyin: Yáo Lìfǎ; born 1958 in Qianjiang, Hubei) is apparently the first person in China elected through self-nomination to a municipal-level people's congress. Yao, who has a vocational school education and works at an elementary school, began competing for a seat in the local people's congress in 1987, when the election law was first promulgated.
