To Lam Elected Vietnam's New President Amid Ongoing Political Turmoil
ai generated text
Vietnam's Politburo member To Lam has been elected as the country's new president, winning a majority vote in the National Assembly. Lam, 66, is currently the minister of public security and was nominated by the Vietnamese Communist Party over the weekend. The presidency is ceremonial, but it puts Lam in a strong position to become the next Communist Party general secretary. The National Assembly voted unanimously on a resolution approving Lam's election, with no other candidates running against him. He takes over from Vo Van Thuong, who resigned in March due to "violations and shortcomings."
