[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] The bids of lawmakers Kim Jae-won and Kang Hyo-sang, who volunteered to run in the Seoul metropolitan area, to advance to the general election have been thwarted.

On the 19th, the Future United Party's nomination management committee announced that in the primary elections for the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions, former lawmaker Yoon Sang-il won in Seoul Jungnang-gap, where lawmaker Kim competed. Kim, whose constituency is Sangju-si, Gunwi-gun, Uiseong-gun, and Cheongsong-gun in North Gyeongsang Province, moved his constituency to the Seoul metropolitan area to challenge for a fourth term in this general election.

In Seoul Jung-seongdong-gap, former lawmaker Jin Soo-hee and lawmaker Kang competed in the primary, but former lawmaker Jin secured the ticket to the general election. Lawmaker Kang, who served as the Daegu Dalseo-byeong party committee chairman, had moved his constituency to a difficult district in Seoul ahead of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk (TK) nomination screening.

Additionally, in the Gyeonggi Yongin-byeong primary, former lawmaker Lee Sang-il secured the nomination by defeating former Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly member Kwon Mi-na.
