He said that the list has higher numbers of candidates who are non-Party members and those from ethnic minority groups, and at least 35 percent of female candidates.
NA General Secretary, Chairman of the NA Office and head of the NEC Office Nguyen Hanh Phuc said that the NEC and relevant agencies should focus on directing central and local organisations, agencies and units on the introduction of candidates and the organisations of meetings to collect voters’ opinions on the candidates, as well as the formation of election committees at all levels and receiving the nomination documents and making plans on allocating NA deputies from the central level to become candidates in localities.
It is necessary to organise the second negotiation to make a list of candidates, while gathering the ideas of voters in the candidates’ residence, while adjusting the structure, components and number of candidates from central and local organisations, agencies and localities, he said.
In order to keep a close watch on the preparations in localities, Phuc suggested that the NA Standing Committee issue a plan to organise election supervision groups, while continuing to issue guiding documents, dealing with denunciations and complaints related to election, and ensuring safety and orders throughout the election.
