[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] The Future United Party's Nomination Management Committee (NMC) has cut off a large number of incumbent lawmakers from Daegu and Gyeongbuk (TK), and on the 9th, former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo expressed his dissatisfaction.

In a post on his Facebook on the same day, former leader Hong said, "The thug-like nominations carried out in collaboration between Hwang's side and Kim Hyung-oh, the NMC chairman, are evident not only in my case but also in the Daegu nominations," emphasizing, "The delusion that people will blindly vote just because of anti-Moon sentiment must stop."

He added, "It will backfire instead," and "I do not take the easy path. Even if the road is rough, I take the path to correct things."

Earlier, the day before, former leader Hong posted, "During my 38 years of public service, I never yielded to injustice and collusion. This nomination screening for Yangsan-eul is a typical case of injustice and collusion," and "To comply with injustice and collusion is not befitting of Hong Joon-pyo."

Meanwhile, former leader Hong is scheduled to hold a press conference at the Yangsan campaign office in the afternoon to announce his future plans.
