[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] Jeong Se-gyun, a presidential candidate from the ruling party and former Prime Minister, demanded an apology from the party leadership and the complete resignation of the primary planning team after they initially recruited accountant Kim Kyung-yul as a public interviewer but then reversed the decision on the 2nd.

In an interview with CBS Radio's Kim Hyun-jung News Show that morning, former Prime Minister Jeong said, "Assigning the presidential primary interview to someone who has taken an anti-government stance is not just unpleasant but humiliating."

He added, "The party's primary operation has been hasty and biased so far. This issue must be properly addressed, and it will be problematic if a proper primary is not prepared going forward."

When asked by the host, "How should the leadership handle this?" he replied, "They should apologize. And I believe the primary planning team should resign."

He further emphasized, "Looking at what the primary planning team has done so far, they have not done it properly, and there is little chance they will do so in the future. Showing that level of sincerity is necessary to regain the trust of candidates who love the party and party members, and to ensure the primary proceeds properly."
