[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] Hwang Kyo-ahn, the leader of the United Future Party, stated that he is positively discussing the appointment of the election committee chairman with several people.

On the morning of the 9th, after the Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly, Hwang met with reporters and responded to questions about the rumor of recruiting Kim Jong-in as the election committee chairman by saying, "I am meeting and discussing with several good people."

The United Future Party plans to launch the election committee during the week, with former Democratic Party emergency committee chairman Kim being a strong candidate for the position, and lawmaker Yoo Seung-min also being mentioned. Hwang said, "I am having positive discussions with several people," but regarding Yoo's possibility as election committee chairman, he drew a line by saying, "It is not appropriate to comment on specific individuals."

On the same day, the United Future Party discussed measures against the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) at the Supreme Council meeting. Hwang stated, "We had extensive discussions especially about the humidifier issue related to the Wuhan coronavirus measures." Additionally, the Supreme Council submitted and approved the second round of parliamentary election candidate recommendations. Hwang said, "We will all work together to do our best to win this general election," and added, "All candidate nominations will be completed soon."
