Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang was relieved from duty on Thursday afternoon at the ongoing 11th session of the 13th National Assembly (NA) in Vietnam's capital Hanoi.

A resolution on relieving Sang from the duty of president of Vietnam was approved by the NA with 447 "for" votes out of 473 valid ballots.

Later in the afternoon, newly-elected NA Chairperson Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan delivered a proposal on the nomination of candidate for the position of the Vietnamese president. Tran Dai Quang, member of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPVCC) and 12th CPVCC's Politburo member, and minister of public security, is the sole nominee to the post.

The election for the new Vietnamese president will be conducted on Saturday through secret ballots. Endit
