New Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee Truong Quang Nghia.

Nghia, who was born in 1958 in Cam Kim commune, Hoi An city, Quang Nam province, was former Deputy Secretary of the Da Nang Party Committee from April 2008 to September 2010.

Earlier on October 6, the Party Central Committee (PCC) discussed the Politburo’s proposal on disciplinary measures on Nguyen Xuan Anh, PCC member and Secretary of the Da Nang Party Committee.

The PCC agreed that as the leader of the city’s Party Committee, Anh bears the main responsibility for violations and mistakes of the municipal Party Committee’s Standing Board.

Anh himself broke organizational and operation rules on the Party, violated the regulations on things Party members are not allowed to do, and the rule on Party members’ responsibility in setting good example. He also failed to meet criteria for a member of Party Committee.

Anh’s wrongdoings and mistakes are serious, putting negative impacts on the prestige of the Party organization and himself, and causing discontent among Party members and people, the PCC concluded.

The PCC decided to dismiss Anh from the positions of Secretary of the Da Nang municipal Party Committee, member of the municipal Party’s Standing Board and the municipal Party Committee for the 2015-2020 tenure.

Anh was also removed from the 12th Party Central Committee./.
