Bringing information closer to voters
In Binh Thanh ward, propaganda work is implemented in many creative forms. Through the "Great Unity Morning Coffee" model, seminars introducing candidate biographies are organized at 6 locations in neighborhoods.
Here, voters directly listened and exchanged about the working process and capacity of the candidates for the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026 - 2031 term. This approach is considered a highlight of innovation in election propaganda, both creating an open atmosphere and contributing to consolidating the great unity bloc and strengthening people's trust.
According to Ms. Hoang Mai Quynh Hoa - Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Binh Thanh Ward, 2026 is the first year to implement elections according to the two-level local government model, and at the same time re-establish the People's Council model at the ward level in the city. In that context, the grassroots Front continues to affirm its role in supervising, social criticism, listening to people's voices and monitoring the resolution of government recommendations.
This is also an opportunity for the Front system to promote its role in caring for and supporting the People, consolidating the great national unity bloc. Along with consolidating the organizational structure suitable to the new model, innovating the content and methods of operation, attracting the participation of all classes of people, it is expected to create more motivation for a new stage of development.
