[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] The Democratic Party of Korea has begun the process of sending its proportional representation candidates to the proportional representation coalition party, the Together Citizens Party.

On the 20th, Yoon Ho-jung, Secretary-General of the Democratic Party, met with the party’s proportional representation candidates at the National Assembly and told reporters, "We have decided to place our candidates from number 11 on the Together Citizens Party’s proportional representation list," adding, "At today’s meeting, we explained the practical procedures to those who will become candidates for the Together Citizens Party." He conveyed the atmosphere by saying, "Many candidates asked questions, and after the explanation, they generally understood."

The Democratic Party had notified 20 proportional representation candidates the day before to submit their resignation and admission forms by today. This is to transfer party membership to the Together Citizens Party and prepare the proportional representation candidate list. The Together Citizens Party’s proportional representation candidates consist of members from the Democratic Party, four minor parties outside the National Assembly, and candidates recruited by the Together Citizens Party itself. However, some proportional representation candidates reportedly expressed dissatisfaction about having to leave the Democratic Party and receiving lower ranking positions on the Together Citizens Party list. Regarding this, Secretary-General Yoon said, "Whether to resign or join is a decision that each individual must make."

Meanwhile, the Together Citizens Party completed the formation of its nomination management committee on the same day. The committee held its first meeting over the weekend, elected the chairperson, and plans to finalize candidates by the registration deadline on the 26th-27th. The committee members appointed 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 Jung Do-sang, professor Jung Jae-won, and lawyer Jo Min-haeng, totaling 10 members.
