WHO COULD BE VO VAN THUONG’S Rival?
Vietnam’s congress will match on Thursday in an amazing period to take Thuong’s departure, confirming a Reuters statement from Sunday.
It is anticipated that it wo n’t appoint an acting president until the party chooses the next candidate.
Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan, who was forced to step in last year to temporarily replace Nguyen Xuan Phuc, who was abruptly fired, is the most good choice.
Then it took the group a quarter and a half to choose Thuong, who was widely perceived as a close ally to the party chief Trong at the time of his election.
According to many analysts, Truong Thi Mai, the party’s veteran and the effective minister of public security, To Lam, are the front-runners for the permanent position.
The former may be interested in the far more prominent position of group chief, which the retiring head may offer sooner in 2026 but whose next mandate expires.  ,
Mai’s work had been seen at hazard amid the latest management change, but no decision was announced about her on Wednesday. That may make her a lame duck, which has frequently been the secret to gaining strong positions in Vietnam.
