The article “The Role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in Ho Chi Minh City in Building and Promoting Socialist Democracy through Participation in Party and State Building” takes a systematic approach that integrates theoretical analysis with practical insights. It aims to clarify the Front’s role in advancing socialist democracy through social supervision, criticism, and the promotion of citizens’ participatory rights. Two primary research methods are employed: (1) the analysis and synthesis of theoretical documents, Party resolutions, State policies, and reports from the Front; and (2) field surveys collecting feedback from officials, Party members, and local residents in Ho Chi Minh City. The study finds that the Front has played an active role in commenting on draft laws and Party Congress documents, organizing voter engagement sessions, and facilitating dialogue between the government and the people-thereby enhancing transparency and accountability. Nonetheless, the article highlights certain limitations, including inconsistent capacities for social criticism across Front levels, occasional inefficiencies in consolidating grassroots feedback, and slow response mechanisms from government authorities. To address these issues, the author recommends enhancing the political and civic engagement skills of Front personnel, strengthening coordination with Party and State institutions, and expanding the use of technology in supervision and criticism-thereby contributing to the continued promotion of socialist democracy in Ho Chi Minh City.
