[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] The People Power Party has decided to nominate former Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman Choi Jae-hyung for Seoul Jongno, former Seocho District Mayor Cho Eun-hee for Seoul Seocho-gu Gap, and former lawmaker Jeong Woo-taek for Chungbuk Cheongju Sangdang-gu in the by-elections held on the same day as the March 9 presidential election.

The People Power Party's March 9 by-election nomination committee announced on the evening of the 10th that it held its 5th meeting at the party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, and made this decision.

Former Chairman Choi was strategically nominated for Seoul Jongno. After the meeting, Ji Sang-wook, a nomination committee member and head of the Yeouido Research Institute, told reporters, "Former Chairman Choi competed in the primary alongside Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, and through that, they formed one team," adding, "He was chosen as a symbol of fairness as a straightforward Board of Audit and Inspection chairman."

In Seocho-gu Gap, where five candidates competed, former Mayor Cho received the nomination, and in Chungbuk Cheongju Sangdang-gu, where three candidates contested the primary, former lawmaker Jeong ranked first and was nominated.

The nomination committee had previously nominated former lawmaker Kim Hak-yong for Anseong, Gyeonggi Province. For Daegu Jung-gu and Nam-gu, where former lawmaker Kwak Sang-do voluntarily resigned due to the 'Daejang-dong scandal,' the committee decided not to nominate any candidate.
