Vietnam to have new president in October: state media

Vietnam’s National Assembly will elect a new president in October, following recent leadership changes. The presidency is one of four key roles in Vietnam’s government structure. This election comes amid political turbulence caused by an anti-corruption campaign that led to the resignation of two presidents since 2021. The assembly also announced appointments for three deputy prime ministers, a chief judge, a chief prosecutor, and two ministers. These changes mark an unusual period of political upheaval in the typically stable communist state. AFP
