In early November 2026, several provincial councils in Vietnam conducted personnel elections and addressed regional policy matters.

In Dong Thap, the Provincial People's Council elected Le Ha Luan, former Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, as Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for the 2026–2031 term. The council also approved the establishment of the Dong Thap Land Development Fund.

In Can Tho, the City People's Council unanimously elected Tran Phu Loc Thanh, the Director of the Department of Finance, to the City People's Committee for the 2026–2031 term. Officials noted that while industrial production and tourism have grown, the city's GRDP remains below projected targets due to difficulties in public investment disbursement.

In Vinh Long, the Provincial People's Council held a meeting on November 10 to restructure the leadership of the Provincial People's Committee for the 2026–2031 term. The council voted to dismiss Dang Van Chinh following his resignation for personal policy reasons, effective November 4, 2026. Additionally, Nguyen Thi Be Muoi was relieved of her duties to serve as Party Secretary of Phu Tan Ward.

To fill these vacancies, the council elected three new Vice Chairpersons: Truong Dang Vinh Phuc, Director of the Department of Finance; Duong Van Phuc, Director of the Department of Construction; and Nguyen Thi Ngoc Giau, Director of the Department of Home Affairs. Nguyen Minh Dung, Chairman of the Vinh Long Provincial People's Council, stated the restructuring is necessary to ensure leadership for the significant workload expected through the end of 2026 and the upcoming term.
