A resolution on the relief of An, a member of the delegation of NA deputies of the northern province of Vinh Phuc, was issued on the basis the Constitution, the Law on the Organisation of the NA, and relevant legal regulations, as well as the opinions of authorised agencies and the proposal of the NA's Committee for Deputy Affairs, and after considering An's resignation request.

On January 10, the Politburo and Secretariat of the Party Central Committee also imposed disciplinary measures on several Party members found to have committed wrongdoings.

After considering the proposals from the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission, the Politburo held that as Secretary of the Binh Thuan provincial Party Committee from October 2020 to March 2024, An violated the Party’s regulations and the State’s law during the performance of his assigned tasks and duties, as well as in the combat against corruption, wastefulness, and other negative phenomena. He also violated the rules set for Party members. His wrongdoings have led to serious consequences, caused big losses to the State budget, triggered public concern, and undermined the prestige of the local Party organisation and administration.

The Politburo, therefore, decided to give a warning to An.
