VietNamNet Bridge – The National Assembly Standing Committee has agreed that annual vote of confidence for the State President, the National Assembly Chairman and the Prime Minister will be held annually.

Annual vote of confidence will be also applied for other key posts elected by the National Assembly, including the Vice State President, Vice Chairpersons of the National Assembly, members of the NA Standing Committee, Cabinet members, the Chief Judge of the Supreme People’s Court, the director of the Supreme People’s Procuracy, and the Chief Auditor of the State Audit of Vietnam.

The vote of confidence plan was put forward at the ongoing session of the National Assembly Standing Committee in Hanoi on March 23, aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of National Assembly operations.  

Those who could not earn more than half of the votes from lawmakers twice consecutively would be considered for resignation or dismissal by the legislature, said Nguyen Hanh Phuc, chairman of the NA Office.

The vote of confidence is in response to a recent Party Central Committee Resolution on urgent issues in Party building.

The vote will take place every year and the results will be made public, said Mr. Phuc.

The National Assembly Standing Committee also approved some changes in the operation of the National Assembly.
