Overview of the meeting.
At the meeting, a representative of the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front of Hai Ba Trung Ward introduced and presented a summary biography of each candidate. The candidates then presented their action programs to voters, expressing their determination to contribute their efforts if entrusted by voters to serve as delegates of the Hanoi People's Council for the 17th term.
The candidates affirmed that if elected, they would fulfill their rights, duties, and responsibilities as People's Council delegates before the people. They pledged to maintain close contact with residents and voters in the wards of Hai Ba Trung, Bach Mai, and Vinh Tuy, promptly and objectively conveying the legitimate opinions and aspirations of voters to the relevant authorities of the city, while monitoring and supervising the handling and resolution of citizens' recommendations in accordance with the law.
In particular, they pledged to convey the concerns and recommendations of residents regarding five major bottlenecks facing the city: traffic congestion, environmental pollution, flooding, urban order, and food safety — practical issues that require focused solutions in local communities.
The candidates also expressed their hope to continue receiving the trust, support, supervision, and cooperation of voters in order to work together with the city to effectively implement development tasks, gradually improve people's quality of life, and build a capital that is increasingly modern, safe, and livable.
At the meeting, representatives of voters from the wards of Hai Ba Trung, Bach Mai, and Vinh Tuy shared comments and expectations regarding the candidates running for the Hanoi People's Council. The candidates then responded to and discussed issues raised by voters.
Voters expressed hope that Duong Duc Tuan, as Standing Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee and an expert in construction and architecture, would contribute significantly to what they described as a "revolution" in planning, urban planning management, and urban governance in Hanoi — a fundamental task for the city's development, especially in addressing existing bottlenecks.
Voters also expressed expectations for Chu Hong Minh, noting that her theoretical background, professional experience, and creative enthusiasm could help generate proposals to further streamline the administrative apparatus and ensure that the two-tier local government system operates more effectively and efficiently in serving the people.
If elected, voters believe she would bring the legitimate concerns of residents in the three wards to the People's Council, particularly issues such as environmental bottlenecks, urban sanitation, park renovations, the renovation of old apartment blocks, and the construction of additional community activity centers for residential groups.
Highlighting the importance of personnel arrangements after administrative restructuring, voters expressed hope that candidate Trieu Thi Ngoc, if elected, would propose solutions to stabilize the mindset of officials while maximizing their professional capacity and advising on appropriate mechanisms for effectively utilizing the capital's young officials.
For candidate Nguyen Thi Nhiep, voters expressed hope that if elected she would continue proposing policies to improve support for teachers, helping educators feel secure in their work and contribute more effectively to the capital's education and training sector.
Voters also hoped that candidate Le Van Duc would promote the application of high technologies such as AI cameras, drones, or a "People's Representative" mobile application to improve monitoring and more quickly receive and address citizens' feedback.
Voters expressed support for Nguyen Thanh Huyen, a young candidate with enthusiasm and dedication, hoping she would represent the voice of healthcare professionals and the younger generation of the capital.
They also expected Do Manh Cuong to pay greater attention to issues such as preventing school violence, improving policies for teachers, and strengthening moral education and life skills for students. Meanwhile, Nguyen Anh Thu was encouraged to propose policies that contribute to building a well-rounded and fully developed future generation for the capital.
