Provincial, municipal Party congresses to wind up in November

The organisation of Party congresses of centrally-run provinces and cities is scheduled to end on November 2 this year.

As of October 29, 63 out of the 68 provincial and municipal Party organisations had convened congresses for the 2015-2020 tenure.

The functions were held according to Politburo Directive No.36-CT/TW on promoting democracy, solidarity, safety and economy.

The 63 Party organisations elected 3,276 members to their executive committees.

Provinces with females holding over 15 percent of elected positions include southern Kien Giang province (25 percent), Ho Chi Minh City (21.74 percent) and northern Son La province (21.82 percent).

Meanwhile, those registering 10 percent of young officials are Da Nang, Kon Tum, Lao Cai, Phu Yen and Dien Bien.

The Party organisations of Lao Cai, Phu Yen, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City had the higher ratios of female and young officials elected than those stipulated in the Politburo’s Directive No.36-CT/TW.

However, no female officials participated in the standing committees of the Party organisations of Thai Binh, Khanh Hoa, Binh Dinh and Hau Giang provinces.

The 63 Party organisations elected 59 secretaries of provincial and municipal Party committees.

The Politburo will assign officials to assume the roles as Secretaries of the Central Military Commission, the Central Police Party Committee, the Ho Chi Minh City municipal Party Committee and the Hanoi municipal Party Committee for the 2015-2020 tenure.

The Party organisation of Hanoi will convene its congress early next month.-VNA
