Overview of Vietnam's National Assembly Elections

On Sunday, voters in Vietnam participated in elections to select members for the National Assembly, the principal legislative body responsible for approving decisions made by the ruling Communist Party.

According to the national election council, approximately 93 percent of the 864 candidates are members of the Communist Party, while 7.5 percent are independents. This represents a decrease from 8.5 percent in 2021.

The elections, held every five years in Vietnam's one-party system, involve over 73 million voters selecting 500 National Assembly members and local council representatives. Currently, the Communist Party holds 97 percent of the seats in the National Assembly.

Polling stations were scheduled to close at 7 PM (12:00 GMT), with results expected by March 23, as stated by parliament Chairman Tran Thanh Man. The National Assembly's initial plenary session is planned for early April, during which lawmakers are anticipated to confirm the state's top leaders, including the president and the prime minister, as nominated by the party.

The Communist Party confirmed Lam as its general secretary, the most influential role in Vietnam, during its congress in January. The party also selected 19 members of the Politburo, its primary decision-making body. After casting his vote, Lam stated that the election's purpose was "to choose the most prestigious people to continue leading the country to more development."

While some voters expressed hopes for continued modernization and reform under the current leadership, others felt indifferent about the election's impact on their lives. First-time voters, such as 18-year-old Nguyen Kim Chi, participated with the hope that their votes would still make a difference despite predetermined top positions.
