HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam’s National Assembly said on Tuesday it will vote to dismiss To Lam from the post of Minister of Public Security, paving the way for him to be elected president in a later house vote.
To Lam, 66, was nominated last week by a top committee of the ruling Communist Party to become president, one of the top four posts in Vietnam’s leadership. The assembly will vote on his candidacy as president on Wednesday.
