Thieu Gains Weaker Majority as South Vietnam legislature shifts
In Saigon the National Assembly remains controlled by President Thieu but his reduced majority signals a more activist legislature. Voters ousted two thirds of incumbents, 55 uncertain seats loom, and pro and anti government factions scramble to shape the new house. The opposition, bolstered by the An Quang faction and Minh loyalists, wins key urban seats while patently pro Thieu blocs dominate the Mekong Delta and Saigon outskirts. The old 70 percent pro Thieu bloc drops to 61 of 159 seats, with 37 for opposition while 55 swing seats tilt the balance slightly toward Thieu.
