Le Kha Phieu was named general-secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party in December 1997 following an expected shake-up in the Politburo that saw the resignations of Do Muoi as general-secretary, Le Duc Anh as president and Vo Van Kiet as prime minister.
Born in December 1931, Phieu is a graduate of the military college and spent much of his party career as a military commander.
Given his army background, Phieu's elevation to general-secretary was seen generally by observers as a victory for the party's conservatives who fear the country's experiments with capitalism will undermine the party's control.
