[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] The Seocho District Council (Chairman Kim Ik-tae) re-elected Chairman Kim Ik-tae and Operations Committee Chair Jeon Gyeong-hee, both members of the People Power Party, at the first plenary session of the 314th extraordinary meeting on the 11th.

This occurred just one day after former Chairman Kim An-sook and former Operations Committee Chair Jang Ok-jun, who had lost their positions due to a vote of no confidence, returned to their posts following the acceptance of their injunction applications to suspend execution.

The council had passed a vote of no confidence against former Chairman Kim An-sook and former Operations Committee Chair Jang Ok-jun at the first plenary session of the 312th extraordinary meeting on February 7. Subsequently, new chairman and operations committee chair were elected. In response, former Chairman Kim An-sook and former Operations Committee Chair Jang Ok-jun filed injunction applications with the Seoul Administrative Court against the vote of no confidence and the election of the new chairman and operations committee chair, receiving a partial acceptance ruling on March 10.

Although former Chairman Kim An-sook and former Operations Committee Chair Jang Ok-jun resumed their duties immediately following the ruling, a vote of no confidence against the chairman and operations committee chair was passed again at the plenary session scheduled for the following day, the 11th, leading to a by-election.
