A man waters flowers in front of a poster promoting the 14th National Assembly election on a street in Hanoi, Vietnam May 20, 2016. Communist Vietnam holds its five-yearly day of democracy on Sunday with an election for its parliament, and the only national poll in a country tightly controlled by one party for 41 years. The secretive Communist Party has been on a publicity blitz to showcase its democratic credentials, with the rural roads and the streets of its bustling cities festooned with billboards of a hammer and sickle and the workers, farmers and soldiers synonymous with the stateÕs socialist foundations. The poster (L) reads: "Vote for MPs who are directly contributing to building a socialist Vietnam of the people, by the people and for the people."
