Results of Vietnam's parliament election announced

Official results of the election of delegates to the 16th National Assembly, Vietnam's highest legislative body, were announced by the National Election Council (NEC) on Saturday.

At a meeting hosted by the council, Tran Thanh Man, a Politburo member, National Assembly Chairman and chairman of the council, said that the election held on March 15 was conducted in a democratic, equal, lawful, safe, economical and substantive manner.

"This was one of the largest and most demanding elections to date, both in terms of scale and workload, particularly as it took place amid new challenges and complexities compared to previous terms," he noted.

Man emphasized that the election was organized under the close leadership of the Party, headed by General Secretary To Lam, with the entire political system mobilized in a coordinated, proactive and disciplined manner.

He highlighted that voter turnout reached a record high, with no constituencies requiring re-elections nationwide. A total of 500 delegates were elected to the 16th National Assembly, while People’s Councils at the province and commune levels also filled all seats in accordance with regulations.

People's councils are local state power bodies, representing the will, aspirations, and right to self-governance of the people, and is accountable to the local people and higher-level state agencies.

Most importantly, Man noted that voters across the country participated with enthusiasm and responsibility, selecting candidates deemed to possess the necessary competence, integrity and dedication to serve in the legislative body and people’s councils.

Referring to an article by Party General Secretary To Lam titled "The national festival and responsibilities before the people," the top legislator expressed his expectation that the elected delegates will fulfill their commitments to voters and contribute meaningfully to the 16th National Assembly and the People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term.

He added that these efforts will support the implementation of the 14th National Party Congress's Resolution and the socio-economic development plan for 2026-2030, including the ambitious target of achieving double-digit growth in the coming period.

Following the announcement of the election results, relevant subcommittees, including those responsible for personnel and for handling complaints and denunciations, were tasked with continuing to monitor and address any petitions, as well as verifying the eligibility of elected delegates in accordance with the law.
