Chinno·Chinmun Choi In-ho, Democratic Party Supreme Council Member, Will Not Run... "Will Defend Nakdong River Front"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] Choi In-ho, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea considered the original pro-Roh (pro-Roh Moo-hyun) and pro-Moon (pro-Moon Jae-in) figure in Busan, announced that he will not run for the Supreme Council member position.

On the same day, Choi said through Facebook, "I apologize to those who encouraged and supported me to run for the Supreme Council member position, and I am posting a short message to express my gratitude."

He stated, "The next leadership must support the success of the Moon Jae-in administration and establish the foundation for regime re-creation," adding, "If I can leave a seat in the leadership, which I have been considering, for a more excellent person, this party convention will create a much wider range of options."

He continued, "Rather than a Supreme Council member position that I have already experienced, I will devote myself to helping the next leadership where hands and feet are needed to overcome the COVID-19 national crisis and realize regime re-creation," and added, "There are growing concerns as the seats in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam decreased in the last general election. I will stand at the forefront to ensure the success of the Moon Jae-in administration and protect the Nakdong River front."
