[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] President Moon Jae-in accepted the resignation of Cho Hae-joo, Standing Commissioner of the Central Election Commission, on the 21st.


Park Soo-hyun, Senior Secretary for Public Communication at the Blue House, stated in a written briefing that President Moon, who is on a tour of three Middle Eastern countries, received the report of Commissioner Cho's resignation locally on that day and accepted it.


President Moon had previously rejected Commissioner Cho Hae-joo's resignation to reduce unnecessary controversies that could arise during the appointment process, such as confirmation hearings, since the presidential election day was approaching.



However, Park said that since Commissioner Cho expressed his resignation again due to personal reasons, the resignation was accepted.
