The Communist Party of Vietnam has nominated Vo Can Thuong, the youngest member of the party’s politburo at 52 years of age, to be the next President. The nomination assures he will be the next President. He is an ally of the current General Secretary, Nguyễn Phú Trọng.
Thuong has been leading a massive “anti-corruption” sweep of the party. His selection assures the current policies and the current purge will continue under his leadership. He replaces the previous president, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, who was forced to resign as a result of the “anti-corruption” purge.
