16th session to convene in April 2026 after March 15 election
Since 1976 Vietnam's Communist Party has split power among four pillars: party general secretary, state president, prime minister, and National Assembly chairman—but on March 15, 2026, nearly 73.5 million voters elected 500 members of the 16th National Assembly from 864 candidates (93 percent Communist Party) to shift that structure. In April the legislature will appoint To Lam, the former security chief, to lead both party and state, a choice made at January's Party Congress.
