[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun has expressed his willingness to accept the Democratic Party of Korea leadership's decision to hold the primary election in September.


On the 25th, former Prime Minister Chung stated on Facebook, "I believe that holding a primary election with dynamic public participation after achieving herd immunity is the best option, but I will accept the leadership's decision."


He added, "I will devote all my efforts to the reestablishment of the administration."



Until now, former Prime Minister Chung's side had strongly advocated for postponing the primary election, but as the leadership, including Representative Song Young-gil, decided according to the current regulation of '180 days before the presidential election,' it appears they have agreed to accept it to prevent party division.
