[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 11th, the heads of the metropolitan area party committees who were excluded from the nomination process of the United Future Party visited the Jongno election camp of Representative Hwang Kyo-ahn, demanding the withdrawal of their exclusion from the nomination.


The party committee heads protested, saying, "Even the chance for a primary election was taken away from former party committee heads who sacrificed for conservative unification in the spirit of putting the party first," and "We cannot hide our astonishment and disappointment at the destructive nominations against the conservative right."


The party committee heads said, "Please conduct a fair primary election that everyone can accept," and added, "The only objective way to prove who the candidate that will bring victory to our party is, is through a fair primary election."


On the 10th, 17 party committee heads, including Kim Sook-hyang, former head of the Seoul Dongjak-gu Gap party committee of the Liberty Korea Party, held a press conference at the National Assembly, urging Representative Hwang and the Supreme Council to start reconsidering the nominations.



Meanwhile, related to this, Shim Jae-cheol, the floor leader of the United Future Party, also hinted at the Supreme Council's review of the nominations. Shim appeared on the YouTube broadcast 'Goseongguk TV' that morning and said about the nominations, "The overall flow of the nominations was not wrong, but I feel it could have been wrapped up a bit more neatly," and added, "I will do everything I can to ensure the nominations are done properly."
