[Central News Agency]The Communist Party of Vietnam today agreed to the resignation of National Assembly Chairman Wang Dinh Hue from various positions. An investigation pointed out that Wang Dinh Hui violated party membership regulations. In just over a month, Vietnam’s President and Congress Chairman have resigned one after another. The four pillars of the political arena have lost two key players, and political shocks have occurred one after another.

Tuoi Tre reported that the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam held a meeting today at the headquarters of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee to review the resignation and withdrawal of Vuong Dinh Hue as a member of the Political Bureau of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam from 2021 to 2026. The position of President of the 15th National Assembly for a term of one year.

The report stated that Wang Dinh Hui is a major leading cadre of the Vietnamese party and state. He started from the grassroots and held many important leadership positions in the party and state.

However, according to the report of the Central Inspection Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam and relevant units, Vuong Dinh Hue violated the regulations that party members cannot engage in and violated the responsibilities of setting an example for party members and cadres. According to the party’s regulations and national laws, Vuong Dinh Hui must bear responsibility.

The report pointed out that Wang Tinghui’s violations and deficiencies have caused bad public opinion and affected the party, the country and its own reputation. Wang Tinghui recognized his responsibility to the party, the country and the people, and applied to resign from various positions and withdraw from various jobs.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, in accordance with the current regulations of the Vietnamese Party and State and after taking into account Wang Dinh Hui’s personal wishes, agreed to Wang Dinh Hui’s resignation as a member of the 13th Politburo and Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and as Chairman of the 15th National Assembly from 2021 to 2026.

The Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam is elected by the representatives of the National Assembly. Therefore, to formally remove Wang Dinh Hui from the position of Chairman of the National Assembly, it must be handed over to the National Assembly of Vietnam to go through formal procedures.

The Communist Party of Vietnam did not specify the violations and deficiencies of Wang Dinh Hui today. However, the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam announced on April 22 that Pham Thai Ha, assistant to the Chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly, had been arrested on suspicion of abusing his power. At that time, the outside world speculated that Wang Dinh Hui may have been affected. Please resign.

Before Wang Dinh Hue, former Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong was approved to resign in late March this year. According to the report of the Central Inspection Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam at the time, Vo Van Thuong violated the regulations that party members cannot engage in.

There are four pillars in Vietnam’s political arena, namely the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the President of Vietnam, the Prime Minister of Vietnam, and the Chairman of the National Assembly. Within more than a month, the President of Vietnam and the Chairman of the National Assembly resigned one after another, which surprised the outside world. The current position of Vietnamese President is temporarily taken by Vice Chairman Vo Thi Anh Xuan.

The Communist Party of Vietnam will hold its 14th National Congress in early 2026. It was previously believed that Nguyen Phu Trong, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam who is nearly 80 years old and has been reelected for three consecutive terms, intends to cultivate the successor of Wu Wenxuan. Wang Dinh Hui’s career is also highly anticipated. As the two men stepped down one after another, associations with political struggle continued.
