Will stopping participating in party activities result in being removed as a party member? What are the procedures for removing party members who violate their status in Vietnam?

Hello, Lawnet would like to answer as follows:

1. Will stopping participating in party activities result in being removed as a party member in Vietnam?

According to the provisions of Regulation 24-QD/TW of 2021, the Party cell shall consider and request that the competent Party committee decide to delete names from the list of party members in the following cases:

- Party members quit party activities or do not pay party fees for three months of the year without a legitimate reason;

- Party members arbitrarily return their party membership cards or cancel their party membership cards;

- Party members have a reduced will to strive, do not perform their party member duties, have been educated by the Party cell but after 12 months of striving, they have not made progress;

- Party members violate their party membership status for two consecutive years;

- Party members do not meet political standards according to regulations of the Politburo.

Thus, if she quits party activities for 3 months of the year without a legitimate reason, the cell will consider and request that the competent party committee decide to delete her name from the party member list.

In addition, Regulation 24/QD-TW clearly states: Do not consider and re-admit people who previously left the Party for reasons of self-abandonment of party activities.

2. Procedures for removing the names of reserve party members who violate their status

According to Instruction 01-HD/TW dated September 28, 2021, regulations on procedures for removing the names of reserve party members who violate their status are as follows:

In case the Party Committee makes a request for the third time but that party member does not make a written review or does not attend the meeting to review, the Party branch will still consider and handle that party member.

In case a party member intentionally does not make a review at the request of the cell, the cell will immediately carry out the process of requesting the removal of the party member's name.
