The election took place during the eighth session of the 11th Lam Dong Provincial People's Council.

Born in 1979 in Gia Lai Province, Ut holds a master's degree in economic management, an engineering degree in electrical engineering and an advanced qualification in political theory.

Before the administrative restructuring, he served as director of Dak Nong Province's Department of Industry and Trade. Following the establishment of the new Lam Dong Province, he was appointed director of its Department of Industry and Trade.

With Ut's election, the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee now has seven leaders: Chairman Ho Van Muoi and six vice chairmen, Nguyen Hong Hai, Vo Ngoc Hiep, Nguyen Ngoc Phuc, Nguyen Minh, Dinh Van Tuan and Nguyen Ba Ut.

His appointment is intended to complete the provincial administration's leadership structure, helping ensure stable and effective local governance and meet development requirements in the new period.

Earlier, on September 4, the Prime Minister transferred and appointed Le Trong Yen, then standing vice chairman of the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee, as deputy minister of Agriculture and Environment.
