The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam has consented to dismiss National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue from his duties as a member of the Politburo and a member of the 13th Central Party Committee.

The 13th Party Central Committee convened a meeting in Hanoi on Friday to discuss and give opinions on relieving Hue of all his political roles and ending his public service.

Hue, born in 1957, is a key leader of the Party and the state who has received fundamental training and has risen through the ranks from grassroots levels to hold many important positions in the political apparatus.

However, reports from the Central Inspection Commission and relevant authorities indicate that he has flouted regulations prohibiting certain actions for Party members.

He has failed to meet the obligation of demonstrating exemplary behavior for officials and Party members, which is especially vital for those in the Politburo, Secretariat, and Party Central Committee.

Moreover, he has been held accountable as a leader in accordance with Party rules and state laws.

Hue's transgressions and shortcomings have provoked unfavorable public opinion, tarnishing the prestige of the Party and the state, as well as his own reputation.

Having a clear understanding of his responsibilities to the Party, the state, and the people, he submitted a request to give up all of his assigned positions and duties.

In accordance with current Party and state regulations and taking into account Hue's preferences, the Party Central Committee has decided to relieve him of the following roles: member of the Politburo, member of the 13th Party Central Committee, and chairman of the 15th National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for the 2021-26 term.
