Many localities did not meet the target.

Such as Hoang Mai town reached 45%; Dien Chau district reached 46.8%; Ky Son district reached 48%; Vinh University reached 50%; Tan Ky district reached 60%; Thanh Chuong district reached 60.66%; Con Cuong district reached 67.69%; Quy Hop district reached 70%...

According to Resolution No. 21 of the Party Central Committee issued on June 16, 2022 on "Strengthening and consolidatingbuilding grassroots party organizationsand improve the quality of party members in the new period", the annual rate of party membership admission in the period of 2020 - 2025 must reach 3 - 4% of the total number of party members.
