Yesterday, April 24, Secretary General of the National Assembly Nguyen Hanh Phuc said he had not received Mr. Cu's application.

According to regulations, deputies can request to resign from their duties and the authority to accept belongs to the National Assembly or the National Assembly Standing Committee (during the time when the National Assembly is not in session). Since this time is close to the 3rd session of the National Assembly, Mr. Cu's case will be reported to the National Assembly for consideration.

If the National Assembly agrees with the request to resign from the duties of National Assembly Deputy Vo Kim Cu, it will pass a resolution to dismiss him.

However, Mr. Cu has just been disciplined by the Secretariat for serious violations related to the Formosa project, so many opinions say that it is necessary to carry out procedures to remove his status as a National Assembly deputy because Mr. Cu no longer has enough credibility with voters.
