Lê Minh Hưng (Vietnamese pronunciation: [le˧˧ mïŋ˧˧ hɨŋ˧˧]; born 11 December 1970) is a Vietnamese economist and politician who is serving as the 9th Prime Minister of Vietnam since 2026. A member of the Politburo, he was previously the Head of the Central Organization Commission, and Chief of the Office of the Central Committee.

At the 14th Party Congress, he was elevated to the Politburo and quickly became the presumptive designate to succeed Phạm Minh Chính as the Prime Minister.

He also attended a market economy and financial analysis course at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE) in 1996.

Why this record matters
The phrase “vietnamese politician (1970-)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24254499. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1970, 2026, 2016 and 2020.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
