[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] The People Power Party will hold a presidential candidate presentation (PT) on the 7th. Then, on the 9th and 10th, the Election Commission plans to conduct public interviews with the candidates to narrow down to 8 first-round survivors.

On the 2nd, the party's Election Commission finalized the primary schedule during a meeting and consultation with experts regarding the reverse selection prevention clause.

First, the Election Commission will announce on the 3rd the candidates who will participate in the preliminary primary among the 15 registered presidential candidates. Then, from the 4th to the 10th, a volunteer week will be designated for the candidates, allowing them to engage in volunteer activities voluntarily.

On the 5th, a fair primary pledge ceremony will be held. A meeting between Election Commission Chairperson Jeong Hongwon, commission members, and candidates will also take place.

On the 7th, a PT covering policy pledges and other topics will be held. Candidates will have the opportunity to ask questions to other candidates through a lottery system to obtain questioning rights.

On the 9th and 10th, for two days, interviewers selected by the Election Commission will conduct pressure interviews with the candidates.

On the 12th, an 'All-day Live Broadcast' (live streaming) is planned to facilitate communication between all candidates and the general public.

On the 13th and 14th, a public opinion poll (100% targeting the general public) will be conducted. Based on this, the 8 survivors will be announced on the 15th.

Meanwhile, on the same day, the Election Commission invited two experts in favor, two opposed, and two neutral regarding the 'reverse selection prevention clause' to hear their opinions. Chairperson Jeong told reporters, "We will try to reach a conclusion as soon as possible, but I cannot say exactly when."
