Ngu Phuok Dinh (Vietnamese: Đinh Ngu Phuoc, French: Ngu Phuoc Dinh; born May 19, 1940) is a politician who served as the first chancellor of the Sel Appa from 2005 to 2010. A member of the Communist Party, he helped stabilize Sel Appa after upheaval and transitioned the nation into the modern era.

Biography

Early life

Dinh was born in southern Sel Appa.

Communist Party

After graduating from college in 1961, he was introduced to Communism. Believing it was the path to true freedom, he began to get more involved in the Party. Over the next fifteen, he rose up the ranks and was elected General Secretary in 1978. He began to promote the Communist Party more, but it never caught on much since Sel Appa was still a monarchy. In 2005, with Sel Appa's first elections, he was unanimously chosen to run for the Communist Party. He planned he will bring Sel Appa into the Communist ideology and make it a much better place to live in.

Chancellor

Since becoming chancellor, Dinh has set many precedents and sponsored many bills. He even submitted a few of his own. Including a whole crime and punishment system that was passed. All of the punishments include public floggings. He also asked parliament to give the Grand Archduchy some power.

Impact

As the first chancellor, Dinh set many precedents. Despite some early ambition, he governed in a unifying way and welcomed input from every party. He embraced pragmatism in order to steer Sel Appa from the chaos of the Alexander dictatorship. Going from a monarchic system to socialist revolution to military dictatorship in a short amount of time stressed the populace. Ultimately, Parliament saw stagnation and Dinh saw the need for a new constitution, and was able to get the body dissolved in order to make that possible.

While Dinh led the Communists to two electoral victories, his tenure was cut short by the complications of writing a new constitution. Despite having a larger coalition after the 2010 election, he was unable to gather enough support to form a majority. John Hammond and Katya Yudin stole the show with a third pre-coalition agreement that led to the former succeeding Dinh, and overseeing the writing of a new constitution as a caretaker chancellor. Dinh had hoped to strengthen the government and implement a more bureaucratic form of socialism in his second term, but opted to retire from leadership after failing to get any of his proposals into the new constitution. He was succeeded by deputy and protege, Afiun Oubei.
