Following the victory of the August Revolution in 1945, in response to the urgent need to build and consolidate the fledgling revolutionary government, he was invited by President Ho Chi Minh to join the government. On January 6, 1946, in the first general election of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, he was elected as a National Assembly representative, and at the second session of the first National Assembly, he was elected as the Head of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, a position he held from November 1946 until his death in 1955.

With its profound historical and cultural values, the Bui Bang Doan Memorial Area, dedicated to the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, is not only a place to commemorate an exemplary leader, but also a meaningful destination for people and tourists to visit during the spring season, pay respects, and learn about the patriotic traditions and the spirit of serving the Fatherland of our ancestors in the early days of the new year.
