Voters in D’ran Express Support and Confidence in Candidates for the Lam Dong Provincial People's Council

The event took place during a voter meeting organized on March 7 by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Lam Dong Province. Five candidates for the provincial People’s Council for the 2026–2031 term, representing Electoral Unit No. 8, attended the meeting in D’ran commune.

The meeting was attended by representatives from provincial departments and agencies, along with more than 300 voters from Lac Quang hamlet in D’ran.

During the event, organizers announced the list and brief biographies of the candidates, including Mr. Ho Van Muoi, member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.

Presenting their action plans, the candidates emphasized that the provincial People’s Council serves as the local state authority representing the will, aspirations and democratic rights of the people.

Their proposed programs focus on several key priorities for local development, including:

• Enhancing the value of agricultural products
• Upgrading transportation infrastructure
• Ensuring public security and social order

Alongside socio-economic development initiatives, candidates pledged to maintain a strong sense of responsibility toward voters and residents. If elected, they promised to remain close to the people, listen to their concerns and convey these issues to relevant authorities.

Candidates also stressed that, if elected, they would strive to translate promises into concrete actions, ensuring that issues raised by voters are addressed effectively and within their authority.

They further pledged to act as a bridge between the government and the public, helping build unity and collective determination toward the province’s development.

Candidates highlighted the development potential of D’ran, noting the commune’s favorable land resources, climate and natural landscapes, which have long inspired artists and supported thriving agricultural production, including well-known vegetables, flowers and fruit crops.

However, voters and candidates also acknowledged existing challenges, particularly inadequate transport infrastructure and limited digital infrastructure, which continue to affect agricultural production. The growing demand for domestic water supply is another issue that requires further investment.

At the meeting, local voters expressed gratitude to provincial leaders and authorities for their timely support during the severe floods of 2025, which helped residents gradually stabilize their lives.

Voters praised the candidates’ action plans and voiced confidence in their commitments. They also affirmed their continued support for the Party and State’s policies while pledging to closely monitor the activities of elected representatives.

Many voters expressed hopes that future council members would prioritize improving farm production and agricultural market access, including stronger links between farmers and businesses to ensure stable outlets for agricultural products.

Access to credit and preferential loans for maintaining and expanding production was also raised as a key concern. Voters further called for upgrades to transportation infrastructure and the construction of embankments along the Da Nhim River to improve safety and support development.

Residents also hoped that provincial representatives would help the commune connect with tourism businesses to develop local tourism products and promote cultural heritage.

Responding on behalf of the candidates, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Ho Van Muoi thanked voters for their constructive feedback and expectations.

He acknowledged the severe challenges faced by residents, particularly the heavy losses caused by the historic flood in 2025, and expressed sympathy with affected communities.

The provincial leader also commended the determination of local authorities in responding to the disaster and supporting affected households, including assistance provided through the “Quang Trung Campaign.”

Chairman Ho Van Muoi noted that while D’ran has strong development potential, its transport infrastructure remains limited, with several roads requiring upgrades. He called for a combination of provincial funding and community contributions to build inter-hamlet roads that would improve mobility and facilitate agricultural transport.

In the short term, he instructed departments and local authorities to review plans to relocate households in high-risk areas and take preventive measures against future floods.

He also called for clearing waterways and irrigation systems while preventing illegal construction that could increase flood risks during the rainy season.

Finally, Chairman Ho Van Muoi stressed that Lam Dong continues to face limited resources but is prioritizing key infrastructure projects to support long-term development.

Regarding agricultural development, he emphasized that the province is promoting transport infrastructure improvements and digital technologies in farming and product marketing to enhance the value of agricultural products.

He also encouraged farmers to continue learning and applying new production models while prioritizing safe and sustainable agricultural practices.

“Farmers must place consumers’ health first,” he said, urging producers to follow proper cultivation processes and minimize the excessive use of agricultural chemicals in order to improve product quality and strengthen the reputation of Lam Dong’s farmers.
