On January 29, Working Group No. 7 of the Hanoi Party Standing Committee worked with six communes and wards of Chuong My, Phu Nghia, Xuan Mai, Tran Phu, Hoa Phu and Quang Bi on leadership and direction of preparations for the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils for the 2026–2031 term, as well as Lunar New Year activities for 2026.

Local leaders reported that they proactively and strictly implemented the legal framework in line with central and city directives.
The communes and wards consolidated their election steering committees, chaired by Party secretaries, issued guiding documents and strengthened communication for key officials, Party members and residents through various channels.
Chuong My Ward has seven electoral units electing 26 deputies at 54 polling stations. Phu Nghia Commune has six electoral units electing 28 deputies, including four units electing five deputies and two units electing four deputies at 36 polling stations.

Hoa Phu Commune has five electoral units electing 25 deputies, with each unit electing five deputies at five polling stations. Tran Phu Commune has eight electoral units, each electing three deputies at 30 polling stations, including 28 three-tier stations and two two-tier stations.
Localities conducted consultation conferences, candidate nomination procedures and candidate declarations on schedule.
They also prepared facilities, funding and security in line with plans. Authorities promptly handled petitions and complaints related to the election and no election-related cases have arisen to date.
During discussions, local representatives cited challenges such as software errors in election management systems and discrepancies between national population database figures and actual voter data.
Some communes face heavy workloads due to large areas, dense populations, numerous polling stations, limited staffing and the need to handle regular tasks alongside election work. Some officials are participating in election organization for the first time and lack practical experience.
Regarding Lunar New Year preparations, communes and wards strengthened communication on socioeconomic measures, food safety, public order and environmental sanitation before, during and after the holiday.
They also organized visual decorations and cultural, sports and artistic activities to create a festive atmosphere.
Authorities conducted visits and provided gifts to policy beneficiaries, people with meritorious service, near-poor households and vulnerable groups to ensure everyone can celebrate the holiday.

Concluding the meeting, Head of the Hanoi Party Committee's Inspection Commission Do Anh Tuan praised the communes' serious and responsible efforts in preparing for the elections.
He stressed that election organization is a particularly important political task and that responsibility rests first with heads of localities.
Commune-level Party secretaries must directly lead, direct and monitor progress and consultation procedures. All stages must comply with timelines, processes and legal requirements.
He also urged localities to ensure political security and public order throughout election preparation and organization, promptly address emerging issues and avoid complacency.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, Tuan asked local Party committees and authorities to fully implement assigned tasks, prioritize social welfare and care for policy beneficiaries, people with meritorious service, poor and near-poor households and vulnerable groups.
He also requested proactive support for hardship cases not covered by policy to ensure all households can enjoy the holiday.
Localities should strengthen market management, strictly control food safety, eliminate informal markets, maintain public order, prevent fires and uphold administrative discipline during the holiday period.
These efforts will help ensure successful elections and a joyful, secure Lunar New Year for residents.
