(VOVworld) – The National Assembly on Monday approved the list of 47 posts subject to the vote of confidence. These posts elected or ratified by the legislature include the President, the Chairman of the National Assembly and the Prime Minister.

Earlier, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung reported on the implementation of Resolution 35 on the vote of confidence on those elected by the legislature and People’s Councils. He said this is the first time that the legislature practices its supreme power in personnel issues. He added that the deputies will represent voters nationwide to evaluate the performance of key posts in the state apparatus. He said “We should undertake our responsibilities before the people, party and state. Voting will include four stages. First, the National Assembly will approve the list of those subject to the vote of confidence. Second, the deputies will give their opinions to the vote of confidence. Third, the National Assembly Standing Committee will report on deputies’ discussions to the National Assembly, which will conduct the voting afterwards. Results of the vote will be announced tomorrow morning together with the passing of the resolution on the vote of confidence.”

Many newspapers have covered this unprecedented vote by the National Assembly. The People’s Army newspaper said the move not only demonstrates innovation in personnel supervision but also helps to improve the quality of the state apparatus. The Youth newspaper said the vote reflects voters’ faith in the legislature and those who are at the helm of the country.
