Do Trong Hung dismissed from all Party positions
The Party Central Committee approved Le Quang Huy’s request to step down from his position as member of the 13th Party Central Committee for personal reasons.
The committee also decided to discipline Do Trong Hung, member of the Party Central Committee, former deputy head of the Party’s Central Organization Commission, former secretary of the Thanh Hoa Province Party Committee, and former chairman of the Thanh Hoa Province People’s Council, by removing him from all Party positions.
