With such a round voting method, in general, the solo candidate is almost certain to be elected. During the old Saigon government in 1971, Mr. Nguyen Van Thieu also expressed Such a one-candidate presidential election was criticized by revolutionaries as an “election farce”. But now, electing a single candidate is also quite common.

From being elected to the position of ward chairman, ward secretary, to the district, province, and city levels, then to the central level. The positions of general secretary, president, prime minister, and chairman of the national assembly are also mainly elected roundly. The round election is explained to ensure centralized unity. But in our country there is the principle of “democratic centralism” which is both centralized and democratic . Discussion and election are democratic. But when the majority decides, the voters must obey and execute.
If it is said that round elections are to ensure unity and centralization, then there is no need for elections, please let the party just send someone to lead the country. Why would you waste money on organizing elections? The state wastes the time of party members, people, and national assembly representatives. Within the party, there have been many criticisms of this practice, but little has been done to correct it. Former Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet also recently suggested that elections for high-ranking party positions should be made up of all 3 million or so party members, or that more than a thousand delegates attending the Party Congress should be elected, not just more than 150 central members. pregnancy.

Our country has entered In the 20th year of the reform process, this year the party holds the 10th Congress with the motto of continuing to innovate further, bringing innovation to new heights in order to bring our country out of poverty and backwardness. That is an extremely glorious and heavy task for the party. To carry out the heavy and glorious task of leading the country, the party should take the lead in innovating the election of leadership positions within the party first so that state and local government agencies can learn from it.

The nature of an election is that there must be at least 2 candidates Therefore, when electing leadership positions in the party, the 10th Party Congress asked for at least 2 candidates. In introducing candidates for the highest positions of the state, the National Assembly government also asked the party to introduce at least 2 candidates for each position for the National Assembly to elect. The same is true in localities. Electing secretaries, presidents of provinces, cities, and at the district, ward, and commune levels also requires at least 2 candidates so that party members and people have the right to choose.

The civilization of human society has entered the 21st century, and the people’s intellectual and democratic level has also been raised one step higher. In the world, there are only very few countries that have this type of round election – solo election, and they are all condemned by the people of the world. Please respect the right to control the election of party members, people, people’s council representatives at all levels and national assembly representatives.
