The violations by the Standing Board of the Quang Ninhprovincial Party Committee in the 2015 - 2020 tenure caused serious consequences, with many officials and Party members under the Standing Board’s managementcommitting wrongdoings to an extent that requires disciplinary measures, andsome Party members investigated, thus stirring public concern and eroding theParty organisations’ prestige.
