Extraction of Safety Numbers for 50,000 Residents... ARS Opinion Survey

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The re-election of the Democratic Party of Korea in Gwangsan-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, decided due to issues such as illegal inquiry of party members, will be conducted through a citizen participation primary (open primary).

According to the Democratic Party and local political circles on the 11th, the party's Supreme Council decided to apply a citizen participation primary for the re-election between preliminary candidates Min Hyung-bae and Park Si-jong around the 17th to 18th.

A party official explained that this decision was made because the illegally accessed list of party members was problematic.

A random list of 50,000 residents will be obtained, and safe numbers will be extracted to conduct an ARS public opinion survey.

Park's political newcomer bonus points will still be applied as planned.

Meanwhile, preliminary candidate Min Hyung-bae, who lost in the primary, filed a rehearing request claiming that Park Si-jong conducted election campaigning using the illegally accessed party member list, and the party's Supreme Council accepted this, leading to the re-election.
