[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Baek Seung-ju, a member of the Future United Party, announced on the 9th that he has requested a reconsideration after disagreeing with the party's nomination results.

Baek stated, "While it is a basic duty as a party member to follow the decisions of the nomination management committee for the Future United Party's victory in the general election, the committee's decision regarding the Gumi City Gap district has caused significant division among party members. After discussions with party members, I have requested a reconsideration."

He expressed concern, saying, "There is a widespread local opinion that the decisive reason the conservative candidate lost in the 2018 local elections was the division among conservative candidates. Due to the committee's recent decision, party members are defecting, making it difficult to predict the outcome of this general election."

Baek added, "Unlike other areas in North Gyeongsang Province, the Gumi City Gap district has a solid support base of about 40% backing the Democratic Party. For the victory in the general election, I request the Future United Party's nomination management committee to conduct a fairer primary."
