Party and State leaders, along with representatives of different generations of National Assembly deputies, paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at his Mausoleum in Hanoi on the morning of January 6 on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the first general election of Vietnam (January 6, 1946 – 2026).

Party and State leaders, along with representatives of different generations of National Assembly deputies, paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at his Mausoleum in Hanoi on the morning of January 6.

Attending the ceremony were Party General Secretary To Lam, State President Luong Cuong, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, and permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Cam Tu.

Also present were former Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh, former State Presidents Nguyen Minh Triet and Truong Tan Sang, former National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, along with current and former Party and State leaders, Politburo members, Party Central Committee secretaries, Deputy Prime Ministers, and Deputy Chairpersons of the National Assembly.

With profound respect and gratitude, the delegation expressed deep remembrance of President Ho Chi Minh’s immense contributions to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.

The late leader devoted his entire life to the struggle for national liberation, national reunification, and the building of an independent and unified Vietnam. The wreath laid by the delegation bore the inscription “Forever grateful to great President Ho Chi Minh.”

Eighty years ago, January 6, 1946 marked a historic milestone when, for the first time, the Vietnamese people exercised their right to mastery to vote in a general election, directly electing deputies to the National Assembly.

The success of the first general election not only affirmed the democratic and progressive nature of the Vietnamese State, but also reflected the strategic vision and creative revolutionary thinking of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, laying a firm foundation for a State of the people, by the people and for the people.

From the first general election in 1946 to the present, Vietnam has successfully held 15 National Assembly elections. However, President Ho Chi Minh’s imprint on the election of the first National Assembly remains deeply engraved in the hearts and minds of millions of Vietnamese people.

The late leader’s directives, decrees and activities during that historic period have retained their enduring value, providing important lessons for successive generations in electoral work and in building a National Assembly worthy of being the highest representative body and the highest organ of State power of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Following the ceremony, the delegation laid wreaths and offered incense in tribute to fallen heroes and martyrs at the Monument to Heroes and Martyrs on Bac Son street in Hanoi.

Earlier the same morning, a national-level ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the first general election to elect deputies to the National Assembly of Vietnam was held solemnly at the Dien Hong Hall of the National Assembly House, with the attendance of Party General Secretary To Lam and current and former Party and State leaders.
