Vietnam unanimously elected Communist Party General Secretary To Lam as president for a five-year term, consolidating his control over both the party and the state.
The move departs from Vietnam’s tradition of shared leadership, in which the jobs have typically been held by different people, and echoes power structures in China under Xi Jinping and neighboring Laos.
It has been widely expected since Lam’s reelection as Communist Party head in January, when observers noted that his consolidation of party authority positioned him to assume the presidency as well.
I think the biggest threat to communism is authoritarianism. Who here knows the Vietnamese system well? Do they have robust checks and balances to reign in bad folk seeking power? I need to do some reading.
If he’s echoing China’s power structure he’s not a communist.
god forbid vietnam wants communism.
Go die for putin you bootlicker.

Elections in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam are held under a one-party political system led by the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV).
Yah and? Do you consoder elections valid only when there is threat of far far right taking all your rights
I’m sure they’ll have free and fair elections going forward…in that great China similar power structure. That’s what always happens when electing one of them authoritarians after all. I hope the best for the people of course.
Edit: I will say I have no idea of the ballot options and even if they had a fair election now or if other was worse.
