[Asia Economy Reporters Hyunju Lee and Hyunji Kwon] The People Power Party's nomination management committee for the June 1 by-elections announced on the 10th that they have given a single nomination to Ahn Cheol-soo, Chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, as the candidate for Bundang-gap, Gyeonggi Province. For the opponent against Lee Jae-myung, a Democratic Party advisor, Yoon Hyung-sun, the party committee chairman for Gyeyang-eul, Incheon, was nominated.

The People Power Party's nomination management committee for the by-elections announced these results after their meeting.

Yoon Sang-hyun, chairman of the nomination committee, told reporters on the day, "There was an opinion to exclude those who were eliminated in the city and provincial governor primaries that included the relevant electoral districts from recommendation," adding, "We focused on discovering female talents, and prioritized recommending those who contributed significantly to the presidential election victory, those who worked for the establishment of the Yoon Seok-yeol government, and those who can work for the success of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration."

Daegu Suseong-eul, which became vacant due to former lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo's run for Daegu mayor, attracted attention as lawyer Yoo Young-ha and former People Power Party Supreme Council member Kim Jae-won applied for nomination, but former Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone Authority head Lee In-seon received the nomination.

For the Boryeong-Seocheon area in Chungnam, vacated by former People Power Party lawmaker Kim Tae-heum's run for Chungnam governor, former Daejeon mayoral aide Jang Dong-hyuk was nominated.

In Gangwon Wonju, where an election is held due to former Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Kwang-jae's run for Gangwon governor, Park Jeong-ha, Wonju city party committee chairman, was nominated, and in Changwon Uichang, Gyeongnam, where a by-election is held due to former People Power Party lawmaker Park Wan-su's run for Gyeongnam governor, former lawmaker Kim Young-sun was nominated.

Jeju-eul is currently undergoing a public opinion poll primary, and the candidate will be decided as soon as the results come out on the 11th.

Meanwhile, before the announcement of the nomination results on the day, Ahn Cheol-soo, who had an interview, met with reporters and said, "When I first ran for office, I went to Sanggye-dong in Nowon-gu, Seoul, and wore sneakers and walked continuously for a whole month. Walking every alley for a month wore out my sneakers," expressing his determination by saying, "I will work that hard this time as well."
