[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Ji Sang-wook, co-representative of the New Conservative Party, requested the Unified New Party Preparatory Committee (Tongjunwi) on the 13th to "stop the fight over nomination shares." He showed a tough stance, stating that if demands for nomination rights continue, he will make a bold decision.

At a press conference held at the National Assembly Press Hall on the same day, Co-representative Ji stated, "Yesterday, Tongjunwi demanded their share of nominations to secure their stake."

He added, "So far, Tongjunwi has claimed to be the foundation for conservative unification that would inspire the public externally, but where has that purity gone, turning into a battleground of internal strife?" He said, "Such behavior no longer inspires the public and shows the collapse of the conservatism that has protected the Republic of Korea throughout its history." This was in response to civil society groups participating in Tongjunwi demanding nomination shares.

He continued, "We must place the people's hearts at the center, and conservative unification should be based on reformist values through conservative reconstruction grounded in practical politics," emphasizing, "They must relinquish their insignificant vested interests. On the 9th, Yoo Seung-min, chairman of the Conservative Reconstruction Committee, gave everything for conservative reconstruction. He did not demand any shares or rights during the unification and declared reform."

Co-representative Ji said, "If the anti-unification attitude to protect insignificant vested interests continues, we will make a bold decision," adding, "All vested interests must be set aside, and reformist values must be demonstrated through unification."
