The resolution was passed with 420 deputies, or 87.14%, voting in favour.

Under the resolution, the local administration system in HCM City consists of the municipal People’s Council and People’s Committee, and the district- and ward-level People’s Committees. The higher-level people’s committees and their leaders are in charge of delegating tasks for the lower-level ones.

The organisation of other administrative units in the city follows the Law on Local Administration Organisation.

The resolution is scheduled to come into force on January 1 in 2021, with the organisation of the urban administration to be implemented from July 1 the same year.
