An indirect presidential election was held in Vietnam on 22 May 2024. The election took place just one year after the 2023 election of President Võ Văn Thưởng, who resigned on 20 March 2024 as part of a broad anti-corruption purge led by the Communist Party's General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng.
On 18 May 2024, General Tô Lâm was nominated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party to become Vietnam's next president. The National Assembly of Vietnam formally convened on 22 May 2024 to elect Tô Lâm as Vietnam's 13th president, with 472 of 473 delegates attending voted for him and 1 voting blank.
