The number of party member under expulsion was on the rise over the years, from 6,005 in 2011 to 9,822 in 2017, the figures were revealed at a recent meeting of the CPV Central Committee’s Secretariat. 

Following the party and state’s efforts against mismanagement over the past few years, more high-profile civil servants have been punished. 

The meeting aims to discuss the issuance of a directive on enhancing the quality of party membership and removing unqualified members from the Party. Addressing the meeting, Trong emphasized that member quality is a key factor deciding the strength of the party.

He stated that the degradation of political ideology is even more dangerous than corruption, underlining the necessity to strengthen political and ideological education among party members.

As of December 31, 2017, the Party had more than 4.92 million members in 270,046 party cells. In the 2011-2017 period, the Party admitted over 1.46 million members, or an average 209,572 members each year.

More admitted members are young people, women, religious followers, and from ethnic minority groups.

The Party had some 5,000 members after the August Revolution succeeded in 1945 when the country's population was around 25 million.
