Accordingly, An Giang will temporarily suspend appointments and nominations from local personnel for leadership and management positions at the provincial and commune levels under the management of the Provincial Party Standing Committee. For cases that are truly necessary, the decision will be made by the competent authority.

Continue to strictly implement the policy that commune-level party secretaries are not local people.

The Provincial Party Organization Committee is tasked with coordinating with the Provincial People’s Committee Party Committee and relevant agencies and units to thoroughly review the number of deputy heads, department heads, deputy department heads, and specialists in provincial departments, boards, and sectors that are currently redundant.

Based on each person’s professional qualifications, expertise, and work experience, they will advise the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Provincial Party Committee on a plan to assign and deploy personnel to communes where there is a shortage of staff; prioritize arranging officials with integrity, competence, strong political will, the ability to withstand pressure, and experience in handling situations in complex areas with heavy workloads.

At the same time, advise on reviewing, arranging, and deploying appropriately for cases of officials with limited capacity, who are unsuitable for their job positions or strengths, in places showing signs of internal disunity, or where operational effectiveness is low.

After deploying officials from the provincial level to the grassroots, if there is still a shortage of personnel, then selection will be made to supplement the staffing for each commune. Absolutely do not select personnel to fill quotas just to meet numbers, if they do not have the correct expertise or skills, or if there is no room to transfer and arrange officials with professional expertise from provincial departments and sectors to the commune level.

Complete the review and advisory on the implementation plan for arranging officials by June 2026. Party committees, party organizations, agencies, and units are requested to seriously implement this; during implementation, if difficulties or issues arise, promptly report to the Provincial Party Standing Committee for consideration and direction.
