Between April 6 and 8, the 16th National Assembly elected and approved 44 state leadership positions. Seven of these individuals are from Hưng Yên Province, a region that now includes the formerly separate Thái Bình. This places Hưng Yên second nationwide, tied with Hà Nội and trailing only Ninh Bình, which holds eight seats—partly due to Phan Văn Giang serving dual roles as deputy prime minister and minister of national defense.

Most notably, Hưng Yên officials now hold 4 of the 17 key and senior state leadership positions. This accounts for 23.53%, securing the highest share in the country ahead of Ninh Bình and Hà Nội, which each have three individuals (17.65%). Looking at key leadership, General Secretary Tô Lâm was elected president on the morning of April 7. He now heads both the Communist Party and the state, effectively holding two seats within the “four pillars.”
