[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Lim Chun-han] The United Future Party announced that it will unconditionally merge with the Future Korea Party by the 29th of this month.

Bae Hyun-jin, the United Future Party floor spokesperson, stated in front of the Rotunda Hall of the National Assembly main building on the 21st, "We will immediately prepare to hold a national committee meeting for the merger."

On the same day, the United Future Party held a workshop for elected members to discuss the merger with the Future Korea Party.

Spokesperson Bae said, "We promised the public and party members that we would become one after the election, and our position remains consistent. No other reasons or justifications are necessary. To negotiate with the ruling party holding 180 seats and win, we must move forward as a united front. Let us protect the lives of the people with united strength."

He added, "In the last general election, our United Future Party had to choose the path of a proportional representation party as a desperate measure," expressing gratitude to Representative Won Yoo-chul, the lawmakers, and the elected members, then emphasized, "The abilities of the elected members will shine even more through the merger, and therefore the merger is absolutely necessary."

Meanwhile, Yeom Dong-ryeol, secretary-general of the Future Korea Party, stated that he informed the United Future Party side that a physical merger would be difficult within May.
