Nguyễn Văn Thắng, Minister of Finance

Creating conditions for Điện Biên to maximize its potential

Having been closely associated with Điện Biên for over five years across various high-level positions, Nguyễn Văn Thắng views his return to the ballot here as both a mark of trust and a profound responsibility. He commits to maintaining a constant pulse on the province’s socio-economic situation to promptly resolve bottlenecks and address the aspirations of those in difficult, mountainous, and ethnic minority areas. His primary focus is on advising the government and the National Assembly on the mid-term public investment plan for 2026-2030, ensuring that resources are diverted toward essential infrastructure and “bottleneck” projects that will lay the foundation for sustainable growth and a higher quality of life for the people.

Trần Tiến Dũng, Secretary of the Điện Biên provincial Party Committee

Three key tasks to drive Điện Biên forward

If entrusted as a deputy to the 16th National Assembly, Trần Tiến Dũng will pursue three strategic goals: unlocking infrastructure connectivity, establishing tourism as a spearhead industry, and building a green, smart, and sustainable Điện Biên with a double-digit growth rate. The highest priority is the commencement of the Sơn La - Điện Biên - Tây Trang International Border Gate Expressway, which he views as the “key” to socio-economic life. On the tourism front, he envisions a system built on three pillars, historical and spiritual tourism, ethnic cultural identity, and resort experiences, while specifically aiming to transform Điện Biên Phủ ward into a modern, green urban center by 2030. He emphasizes that the target growth of 10-11% is a strategic necessity that must go hand-in-hand with a tangible improvement in the material and spiritual lives of the citizens.

Decisively implementing socio-economic goals

Lê Thành Đô views his candidacy as a heavy responsibility in the new phase of building the province. If elected, he will focus on realizing the goals set by the 15th Provincial Party Congress, aiming to turn Điện Biên into a “fairly developed” province in the region. His strategy centers on attracting investment and economic restructuring, particularly by shifting agriculture toward concentrated, high-tech commodity production. He also commits to mobilizing all resources to complete strategic transport routes, irrigation systems, and essential social infrastructure like schools and hospitals, while providing specific policy mechanisms to make tourism a true economic engine.

Lê Văn Lương, Chairman of the Điện Biên provincial People’s Committee

Striving for double-digit economic growth

Deeply aware of the practical requirements of the “new era,” Lê Văn Lương is targeting an economic growth rate of 11.02% for 2026. To achieve this, he plans to aggressively apply science, technology, and the digital economy to local production. A notable proposal involves using low-altitude economy technology (such as drones and aerial sensing) to modernize the cultivation of key crops like coffee, thereby enhancing competitiveness and yield. He advocates for a “service-oriented” government that places people and businesses at the heart of every policy and serves as a catalyst for major infrastructure projects like the central expressway.

Promoting economic growth suited to local advantages

Recognizing both the advantages and the inherent limitations of Mường Ảng, Hà Thị Thanh Tâm commits to economic transition and investment attraction if elected to the second term of the Commune People’s Council. She aims to direct specialized agencies to develop growth orientations that favor high-value crops suited to the local soil and market demands. Her commitment extends to the completion of essential social infrastructure, rural roads, electricity, and clean water, while strictly monitoring the progress of major regional projects like the Hua Ná - Pá Liếng road and the national expressway.

As the head of the Commune Inspection Committee, she will enhance oversight in sensitive areas such as land management and administrative reform to ensure transparency and prevent corruption, thereby strengthening public trust in the Party’s leadership.

Preschool teacher Lỳ Mì Lé, Mường Toong commune

Bringing voice of highland teachers to National Assembly

As a child of the village and a teacher in a difficult area, Lỳ Mì Lé is driven by a desire to improve ethnic education. Her candidacy for the 16th National Assembly is an opportunity to reflect the “realities of the mountains” to the nation’s highest power. She advocates for child-centered learning environments and the urgent removal of temporary classrooms. Her action plan includes advising on increased nutrition for preschoolers in isolated villages and higher allowances and housing support for “village-anchored” teachers, ensuring they can treat the school as their home and commit to long-term education in the highlands.

Lầu A Say, Department of Ethnic and Religious Affairs

Ensuring equal access to resources and development

Reflecting on the progress of 2020-2025, Lầu A Say notes that while poverty is decreasing, it is not yet sustainable. If elected, he will advise on policies for agricultural development, vocational training, and the preservation of Northwestern ethnic identities. He is particularly focused on ensuring social security for vulnerable groups, veterans, the elderly, and the disabled, and advocating for the construction of cultural spaces and public parks so that every citizen, regardless of their location, can enjoy the fruits of economic development equally.

Quàng Thị Mai, Búng Lao commune Women’s Union

Contributing to rural economic drive
