Tan Dan village Party cell has 41 party members, belonging to Bong Khe commune Party Committee, the congress for the 2020-2022 term was completed in mid-January 2020, before Lunar New Year.

According to comrade Dang Dinh Cat, who was recently re-elected as Secretary of the Tan Dan village Party Cell, all preparations for the congress were made in accordance with the correct procedures and were open and transparent.

“The election of village chiefs, heads of branches and mass organizations was also carried out very quickly. Even when the Party Committee introduced personnel to elect the above positions, the people gave their opinions without any need for a surplus because they had already been approved by the residential groups before preparing for the Party cell congress. Therefore, after the Party cell congress and the consolidation of mass organizations, the people in the village took care of production, livestock raising, and household economic development with a joyful atmosphere...”, comrade Dang Dinh Cat added.

In Tong Tien village, Don Phuc commune, the party cell congress was also conducted according to the correct procedures and achieved high quality. About 1 month before the party cell congress, the village merged the two villages of Tong To and Tong Tien, and named Tong Tien.

The number of party members in the cell has also doubled (currently 29 comrades). Along with the consolidation of mass organizations after the merger, preparations for the cell congress have been carried out urgently with the cell's orientation of accompanying the people, actively eliminating hunger, reducing poverty, and developing a sustainable economy.

Comrade Xen Van Bich - Secretary of Tong Tien village Party cell said: "The new term Party cell congress has clearly defined the goal of mobilizing people in the village to actively raise livestock, produce, develop the economy, gradually reduce poverty and become well-off. Currently, the whole village has 54 poor households (out of a total of 229 households in the whole village), the goal is to strive to reduce the number of poor households by 5% each year.

Due to the local characteristics of having only a small area of ​​rice fields (about 34 hectares), the direction of poverty reduction should be to protect forests, plant trees and develop livestock. We are recommending that the commune and district continue to have policies to support trees, breeds and provide technical training for households to escape poverty sustainably and achieve the goals set by the Party cell.

According to the assessment of the Standing Committee of the Con Cuong District Party Committee, in the process of directing the Party cell congresses, the grassroots Party committees have closely followed the regulations and instructions of the Provincial Party Committee and the Central Party Committee. The members of the District Party Committee Executive Committee and the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee have strengthened their grasp of the situation and given timely instructions to the Party committees to urge the Party cell congresses to take place transparently and on schedule, creating trust among the people; at the same time, actively directing the work of the grassroots Party committee congresses.

By March 4, 1 grassroots party committee and 1 grassroots party cell under the District Party Committee had successfully held the congress for the 2020-2025 term. At the same time, the approval of the congresses of 43 affiliated party committees and cells was also basically completed.
