Photo: Ngoc ThangA Vietnamese businesswoman was dismissed from the National Assembly Sunday following a unanimous vote after she was found to also have citizenship of Malta. Nguyen Thi Nguyet Huong, 46, was found guilty of flouting the Law on Vietnamese Nationality, which prohibits Vietnamese citizens from having dual citizenship, Nguyen Hanh Phuc, the spokesman of the National Election Council, said. She was among 495 candidates to win National Assembly seats in the general elections in May. It is unclear why Huong has dual citizenship.
