[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Jeong Hong-won, former Prime Minister and chairman of the election commission for the People Power Party's presidential primary, reportedly expressed his intention to resign to the party leadership on the 5th. This comes just ten days after his appointment as chairman on the 26th of last month.

Since his resignation has not yet been officially accepted, there is still a possibility that he will continue his role as chairman.

A People Power Party official stated, "It seems he expressed his intention to resign due to escalating conflicts among candidates over whether to introduce a 'reverse choice prevention' clause in the party primary opinion poll."
