right to mastery via the election of moral and talented persons deserving to
represent the people in the NA and all-level People’s Councils.
Aware of the election’s importance, the Party Central Committee, the NA, the

The Politburo issued Directive No 45-CT/TW on June 20 last year requesting the entire
political system be united, enhance coordination, and prepare conditions
necessary for the success and truly democratic, equal, safe, and thrifty
organisation of the election in line with legal regulations.
Following that, the Government, the NA Standing Committee, the National
Election Council, the VFF Central Committee, sectors, and localities swiftly
issued directives, resolutions, decisions, plans, and guidance to prepare for
the election.
Preparations have been made in tandem with arrangements for all-level Party
congresses and the 13th National Party Congress, the Party and State leader
noted.
Ordering efforts to ensure that the election
will see the best possible results and truly become a festival of the people,
Trong called for citizens to solidly grasp the viewpoints, directions, and
major policies to be issued at the upcoming National Party Congress, especially
those relating to personnel work, so as to elect persons of good moral
character and talent and capacity to the NA and all-level People’s Councils,
helping to realise the resolution from the 13th National Party Congress.
