On 26 August 2024, General Secretary Tô Lâm resigned from the presidency shortly after his election as the new general secretary earlier that month following Nguyễn Phú Trọng's death in July.[12] On 21 October, at the eighth session of the 15th National Assembly, Cường was elected to the presidency with 440/440 attending National Assembly delegates in favor (reaching 91.67% of the total number of National Assembly delegates).[13][14][15] He was subsequently inaugurated as president, succeeding Tô Lâm.[16][17]
