The commission proposed that competent authorities consider and impose discipline against the standing board of the provincial Party Committees in the 2015-2020 and 2020-2025 tenures. It also ordered the standing board of the provincial Party Committee and the Party civil affairs board of the provincial People’s Committee to promptly correct their violations and shortcomings, and consider and mete out punishment against organisations and individuals with violations under their authority.

The commission also decided to expel Le Thanh Van, a standing member of the National Assembly (NA)’s Finance and Budget Committee and a deputy of the 15th NA, from the Party for his degradation in political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle, manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation", violation of the Party’s regulation and State’s law on corruption prevention, and abuse of position and power for personal gain that caused serious consequences and tarnish the reputation of the Party organisation and the places where he works.

The committee scrutinised a report proposing disciplines against several Party members of the Party Committee of the south central province of Binh Thuan, and asked competent authority to consider and impose discipline against those Party members for deterioration in political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle, violations of the Party’s regulation and State’s law on corruption prevention, and abuse of position and power for personal gain that caused serious consequences and damage the reputation of the Party organisation.

Regarding violations of the Standing Board of the Party Committee of Vinh Phuc province, the commission decided to give warnings and reprimands to several local officials.

As for the handling of some Party members who committed violations in association with projects and bidding packages carried out by the Advanced International Joint Stock Company (AIC) at the Ministry of Finance, the Government’s Office and in such localities as Hanoi, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Ben Tre, Hau Giang and Vinh Long, the commission required related Party organisations and Party members to continue correcting the mistakes and violations in a timely manner.
