During the course of the vote, 475 deputies present, equal to 95.19% of the total number of lawmakers, voted yes.

Following this, NA Chairman Hue vowed to be absolutely faithful to the Fatherland, the people, and the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The top legislator went on to pledge to strive to fulfil the various missions assigned to him by the Party, State, and the people.

As part of his speech, the NA leader outlined that in his position, he will do his utmost to continue renewing the working methods and improving the operational quality and efficiency of the legislature process. This will be done for the supreme goal of serving national interests and for the sake of all citizens.

He also pledged to strengthen national defence and security, whilst firmly safeguarding national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and promoting greater global integration.

NA Chairman Hue was born in 1957 in Nghi Xuan commune of Nghi Loc district in Nghe An province and is a Professor and Doctor of Economics. He has served as a member of the Party Central Committee since 2006, a member of the Politburo since 2016, and a NA deputy since 2011.

He is the 12th NA chair since the first general election was held in Vietnam in 1946, and the second Secretary of Ha Noi Party Committee to be in this position after the incumbent Secretary-General and State President Nguyen Phu Trong.
