It is unclear whether the situation can be brought under control. On the 11th, the People's Power Party announced that a proposal to re-elect the candidate was rejected in a vote of all party members held on the 10th.
On this day, the People Power Party announced that it would hold a party meeting to re-elect Han Deok-soo as the party's presidential candidate in place of Kim Moon-soo, who had been stripped of his presidential candidate status.
Shin Dong-woo, chief spokesman for the People Power Party, did not reveal the exact number of votes, saying only that the bill was rejected by a "narrow margin."
As a result, candidate Kim regained his status as the People Power's presidential candidate.
This was 22 hours after he was stripped of his presidential candidacy. The People Power Party is scheduled to register Kim as a candidate on the 11th. Candidate Kim has commented on the situation, saying, "All things must return to the right."
"We will immediately launch an election countermeasure committee and prepare an anti-Lee Jae-myung front," he said.
Candidate Han, who was scheduled to be nominated as the People Power's presidential candidate,
"I humbly accept the will of the people and party members," he said, "and I sincerely hope that candidate Kim and the power of the people will win this presidential election." Candidate Han said he would be taking the next step by the deadline for candidate registration (the 11th)
), he has stated that he will not run for president unless a single candidate is agreed upon by then, so it is believed that he will take steps to not run.
The People Power leadership held an emergency committee meeting at around 1 a.m. on the 10th and announced that Kim Jong Un's presidential candidate
Furthermore, at 3 a.m. on the same day, the candidate registration process was resumed, but only independent candidate Han joined the party and ran for office.
It was the first time in constitutional history that a deputy leader had been removed from office, but the attempt failed when party members voted to reject the candidate's reelection.
Emergency response committee chairman Kwon Young-se, who led the candidate change, has offered to resign.
Chairman Kwon said, "It was a decision made by party members in order to field a competitive candidate, but in the end we were unable to obtain the consent of party members," and added, "We were unable to achieve unification.
"It's very unfortunate that this happened, but I think this is also due to my own lack of ability," he said.
Candidate Kim, who has emphasized the People Power Party rules, which state that the presidential candidate can exercise priority authority over overall party affairs, is expected to take control of the party.
However, with less than a month until the presidential election, candidate Kim is faced with the task of resolving internal friction.
After losing his seat as candidate, he expressed his hostility, calling the situation a "political coup."
The lawmakers of the "Seok-yeol" party also strongly criticized the "pro-Yoon" lawmakers and supported candidate Kim. It is expected that such friction will have an impact not only on the presidential election but also on the election of the next leadership of the People Power Party after the presidential election.
It has been done.
