NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said the organisation of the vote of confidence aims to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of the parliament’s supervisory activities and the State apparatus’s activities, help assess the prestige and performance of officials, and help them realise the confidence they are given to continue making self-improvement and bettering their performance. It is also a basis for authorised agencies to carry out personnel planning, training, appointment, and use.
Therefore, this is an important work that must be implemented in line with regulations and with democracy, objectivity, impartiality, and transparency guaranteed, he noted.
Submitting the proposed list of the persons subject to the vote of confidence, Nguyen Thi Thanh, head of the board of NA deputies’ affairs under the NA Standing Committee, said that according to the NA’s Resolution No. 96/2023/QH15, issued on June 23 this year, the parliament will hold votes of confidence on those holding the following positions: the State President, the Vice State President, the chairperson and vice chairpersons of the NA, members of the NA Standing Committee, the NA Secretary General, the chairperson of the NA’s Council for Ethnic Affairs, the chairpersons of the NA committees, the Prime Minister, the deputy prime ministers, ministers, other members of the Government, the Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court, the Prosecutor General of the Supreme People’s Procuracy, and the Auditor General of the State Audit Office.
Clause 5 of Article 2 in the resolution also stipulates that vote of confidence will not be held for officials who are waiting for retirement or were elected/appointed in the same year the vote of confidence is conducted.
Forty-nine people are holding the positions elected or approved by the NA at present, but five officials who were elected or approved in 2023 will not be subject to the vote of confidence, hence the list of 44. Those five officials are State President Vo Van Thuong, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Dang Quoc Khanh, and member of the NA Standing Committee and Chairman of the NA’s Committee for Financial and Budgetary Affairs Le Quang Manh.
The proposed list was passed with 95.34% of the votes./.
