[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] It will be decided today whether the United Future Party, which suffered a crushing defeat in the general election, will transition to an Emergency Response Committee (ERC) system or quickly stabilize the current system and proceed to an early party convention.

The United Future Party will hold a Supreme Council meeting at 10 a.m. on the 22nd at the National Assembly to announce the results of a full survey.

The day before, the United Future Party conducted a full survey targeting the party's 20th National Assembly members and 21st elected members regarding the party's future direction.

The full survey included whether to transition to the ERC system and, if so, who would be appointed as the ERC chairman. The United Future Party is expected to decide its future course based on the survey results.

With voices calling for the transition to the ERC system being somewhat dominant, attention is focused on whether the ERC chairman will be appointed from outside or selected from within the party. Supreme Council member Shin Bora stated on her Facebook on the 21st, "Although opinions are being gathered from the group of lawmakers and elected members, the Kim Jong-in ERC is currently the best choice," while lawmaker Kim Tae-heum argued for strengthening the party, saying, "What future can a party have if it repeatedly entrusts its fate to outsiders?"
