The 15th National Assembly of Vietnam (; less formally the 15th National Assembly -) is a parliamentary cycle that commenced in July 2021 following the legislative elections on 23 May 2021. The National Assembly has 499 members, formally confirmed at the 8th meeting of the National Election Council on 12 July 2021.[1]

The 15th National Assembly first convened on 20 July 2021 to re-elect Vương Đình Huệ as its Chairman, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc as President of Vietnam and Phạm Minh Chính as Prime Minister of Vietnam.

Election

Legislative elections were held on 23 May 2021 to elect members of the National Assembly and deputies of provincial, district and communical councils. About 69,243,604 people went to vote in 63 provinces and municipalities throughout the country. There were 868 candidates contested in 184 multi-member constituencies nationwide, with a maximum of 500 candidates elected.[2]

On 10 June 2021, the National Election Council refused to affirm the membership of Trần Văn Nam, CPV Secretary of Bình Dương Province following investigations in his corruption. His seat in Bình Dương Province was removed.

At the end 499 candidates were announced elected. The Communist party won 485 seats with the rest going to independent candidates.
