Vinh's transfer to Quang Tri aligns with a national policy to appoint provincial chairmen from outside their respective localities. Last week, several other provinces and cities also underwent leadership changes, including Ninh Binh, Hung Yen, Lao Cai, Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen, Hue City, Dien Bien, and Ca Mau.

Currently, five provincial People's Committee chairmen nationwide are local residents. These include: Vo Tan Duc (Dong Nai), Tran Tri Quang (Dong Thap), Vo Trong Hai (Ha Tinh), Le Hong Vinh (Nghe An), and Nguyen Van Ut (Tay Ninh).
