HCMC – Vietnam’s Politburo is considering disciplinary actions against several senior officials, including former National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, and various party organizations for violations of party and state regulations.
On November 20, the Politburo reviewed findings from the Central Inspection Commission regarding potential disciplinary measures. Vuong Dinh Hue could face censure for misconducts while serving as a Politburo member, Party delegation secretary, and National Assembly (NA) chairman. His violations include failures in anti-corruption efforts and breaches of party ethics, which have reportedly caused significant harm to the reputation of the Party and State.
Nguyen Van The, former Minister of Transport, may also be reprimanded for management failures that led to severe financial risks and public dissatisfaction.
Pham Van Vong, former Vinh Phuc Province Party Secretary, is proposed for expulsion from the Party due to serious ethical misconduct and mismanagement, which reportedly caused substantial state budget losses and public discontent.
Vo Van Thuong, former President of Vietnam, has been suggested for disciplinary action due to violations during his previous roles, including as Quang Ngai Province Party Secretary and head of the Party’s Central Propaganda Department. However, any action may be deferred due to his current health condition.
Expulsions are also being considered for former officials Phung Quang Hung, Ha Hoa Binh, and Tran Van Ven, who allegedly violated party ethics and governance standards, damaging the reputation of state and party organizations.
Additionally, the Party Affairs Committee of the Ministry of Transport (2021–2026) and the Party Delegation of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) may face reprimands for governance failures that led to financial losses and public disapproval.
If confirmed, these proposed disciplinary measures would signal a strong stance on accountability and governance, with administrative sanctions potentially following to align with the party’s disciplinary guidelines.
