Vietnam's ruling Communist Party of Vietnam opens its twice-a-decade national congress today, a tightly managed political gathering that will determine the country’s leadership for the next five years and set policy priorities for the fast-growing Southeast Asian manufacturing hub.
As Vietnam's only legal political party, the Communist Party has traditionally governed through consensus-based decision-making, a system designed to prevent power from being concentrated in the hands of a single dominant leader. That model is now being tested as General Secretary To Lam seeks to consolidate influence by potentially holding both the party's top post and the presidency.
