Deputies voted by secret ballot. Following the prescribed procedures and based on vote-counting results, the National Assembly discussed and approved a resolution electing the Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court for the 2026-2031 term.

Accordingly, Mr. Nguyen Van Quang, a member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, and incumbent Chief Justice for the 2021-2026 term, was re-elected to the position with 496 out of 496 deputies present voting in favor.

He then took the oath of office.

“Under the sacred red flag with a yellow star of the Fatherland, before the National Assembly, compatriots and voters nationwide, I - the Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam - solemnly swear: to remain absolutely loyal to the Fatherland, the people, and the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; to strive and make every effort to fulfill the duties entrusted by the Party, the State, and the people,” Nguyen Van Quang declared.
