Bac Ninh province is undergoing administrative restructuring involving the establishment of new urban units. In August 2026, authorities debunked social media rumors claiming a plan to merge 99 communes into 34 units, with the Department of Home Affairs stating such information was “false and inaccurate.”

By September 2026, official restructuring proceeded with the formal establishment of Bo Ha ward and the creation of Bac Ninh city following resolutions from the National Assembly. These changes include the transition of former communes into wards to support urban management and socio-economic development.
