In the atmosphere of early spring and in preparation for the traditional Lunar New Year, a moment of beginnings and expectations, the people place their trust in a new term for elected bodies – a term of responsibility, action, and aspirations for development.
"The quality of the new term's performance depends first and foremost on the quality of the delegates. Therefore, thorough preparation for candidates, especially those running for the first time, female candidates, and ethnic minority candidates, is of particular importance," the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly affirmed.
Following the conference, the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly suggested that each candidate proactively develop a truly persuasive, effective, and feasible action plan; demonstrating the political and ethical commitment of a representative to the people.
The Vice Chairman of the National Assembly also noted that candidates must conduct their election campaigns in accordance with the law, ensuring democracy, transparency, and equality.
