v t e

Vietnam is a Marxist–Leninist one-party state based on democratic centralism. Only one political party, the Communist Party of Vietnam (Đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam) is legally allowed to hold effective power. Vietnamese elections conform to the popular front principle used in communist countries. The united front in Vietnam is called the Vietnamese Fatherland Front and is led by the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Other parties

Only the Communist Party of Vietnam is legal to operate in Vietnam, other parties exist outside Vietnam or secretly operate inside Vietnam:

• Bloc 8406 (Khối 8406) (prohibited in Vietnam)
• Committee for a Workers International (prohibited in Vietnam)
• Nationalist Party of Greater Vietnam (DVQDĐ) (Đại Việt Quốc dân đảng) (outside Vietnam)
• People's Action Party of Vietnam (PAP) (Đảng Nhân Dân Hành Động Việt Nam) (outside Vietnam)
• Vietnamese Nationalist Party (VNQDĐ) (Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng) (outside Vietnam)
• Vietnam Reform Revolutionary Party (Việt Tân) (Việt Nam Canh Tân Cách Mạng Đảng) (outside Vietnam, prohibited in Vietnam)
• Vietnam Populist Party (ĐVD) (Đảng Vì Dân) (outside Vietnam, prohibited in Vietnam)

Many members of these parties have been jailed in Vietnam under the charge of "attempt to overthrow the government". Political rights are very limited in Vietnam, especially the right to change the form of government.^[1][2]
