[Asia Economy Reporter Won Dara] The Together Citizens' Party has formed a Nomination Management Committee.


On the 20th, the Together Citizens' Party issued a press release stating, "In accordance with Article 58 of the Party Constitution and Article 19 of the Party Regulations, the Nomination Management Committee established today has been formed, and committee members have been appointed to ensure fair and democratic nomination and management of proportional representation candidates."


The appointed committee members include lawyer Kang Young-hwa, creator Kwon Bo-ram, lawyer Kim Sol-ha, Hope Institute Director Kim Je-seon, Professor Kim Jun-hyuk, Professor Kim Ho-beom, CEO of X-Tech Lee Kyung-seop, novelist Jeong Do-sang, Professor Jeong Jae-won, and lawyer Jo Min-haeng, totaling 10 members.


They plan to hold the first Nomination Management Committee meeting this weekend to elect the committee chairperson. Once the chairperson is elected, the Together Citizens' Party will select proportional representation candidates before the registration deadline on the 26th to 27th.


Meanwhile, the proportional representation candidates of the Together Citizens' Party are expected to be composed of candidates from the Democratic Party of Korea, four minor parties outside the National Assembly, and candidates recruited independently by the Together Citizens' Party.



It is widely anticipated that candidates from the minor parties outside the National Assembly and those independently recruited by the Together Citizens' Party will occupy positions 1 through 9, while Democratic Party candidates will hold at least seven positions from number 10 onward. The minor parties outside the National Assembly plan to recommend three times the number of candidates corresponding to the one seat allocated to each party after completing their own candidate verification, and the Democratic Party will submit the 25 proportional representation candidates it has already announced. The Together Citizens' Party's independent candidate recruitment will continue until 3 p.m. on the 22nd, focusing on fields such as public healthcare, small business owners, prosecution reform, and small and medium-sized enterprises.
