[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] The Emergency Committee of the United Future Party decided on the new party name "Gukminui Him" (People Power) on the 31st. The party name will be finalized after approval by the National Committee on the 2nd of next month.

On the day, Kim Jong-in, chairman of the United Future Party's Emergency Committee, met with reporters after the morning emergency committee meeting and said, "I think (Gukminui Him) is appropriate," adding, "It is a different party name from the existing People's Party."

Previously, the United Future Party received about 17,000 ideas through a party name contest. The most frequently submitted keyword was "Gukmin" (People), followed by "Freedom," "Korea," and "Future."

Once the United Future Party's National Committee approves the name change, the party will change its banner just seven months after its launch. Public Relations Committee Chair Kim Sumin reported three final candidate names?Gukminui Him, Hangukui Dang (Korean Party), and Wihada (For)?to the Emergency Committee and the party caucus.

The United Future Party plans to ratify the new party name through an online party caucus at 11 a.m. on the same day, followed by the Standing National Committee on the 1st and the National Committee on the 2nd for final approval.
