Voters said they appreciated the outcomes of the legislative body’s operations during its 13th tenure, especially on important issues and legislation, including through the passing of the 2013 Constitution and related regulations. Many members of the public asked the National Assembly to better oversee the operation of state organisations, personnel and state agencies during the next tenure. The public also expressed their hopes that those elected to the National Assembly for the next term and local people’s councils remain in touch with the electorate and represent public opinion.
Many voters urged the party and government to carry out more drastic measures to safeguard national sovereignty, protect fishermen, and update the public on the East Sea situation. Smuggling, counterfeit goods, health and food safety were also major worries for voters. Climate change also concerned many people. They asked the government to steer ministries, sectors and localities toward urgent measures to address the consequences of current long-lasting drought and saltwater intrusion, help farmers stabilise their lives and production, and carry out a long-term plan to upgrade transport infrastructure and irrigation.
