(VOVworld) – The 1st National Assembly election on January 6, 1946 was a landmark in Vietnam’s history. It allowed Vietnamese people to exercise their right to mastery after a century under colonial rule. It was a model of democracy in elections and a foundation on which to build a democratic institution.
(VOVworld) – Prior to the national uprising to seize the reins of the government, a People’s Congress was held in the Tan Trao communal house in Tuyen Quang province on August 16, 1945, involving representatives of sectors, social strata, ethnic groups, political parties, national salvation organizations, and overseas Vietnamese. The Congress illustrated the unity and consensus of Vietnamese people to launch the uprising, eliminate colonialism and feudalism, and lay the foundation for a new regime.
