Vietnam completes replacement of provincial, municipal leadership nationwide

Xinhua, July 5, 2016 Adjust font size:

The replacement of leadership of People's Councils and People's Committees at provincial and municipal levels has been completed nationwide in Vietnam on Monday.

Key leadership positions of provincial and municipal People's Councils and People's Committees at all 63 cities and provinces have been elected for 2016-2021 tenure, according to the E-Portal of Vietnamese government.

After the election of deputies to people's councils at all levels being held in late May, cities and provinces have conducted elections of localities' key leadership positions.

The first session of the 14th National Assembly of Vietnam is scheduled to convene in late July when the country's top leadership, including president, prime minister, national assembly chairperson, among others, will be re-elected for 2016-2021 tenure. Endit
