[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] The Democratic Party of Korea decided on the 20th to approve the appointment consent bill for Prime Minister nominee Han Deok-su at the National Assembly plenary session.

Before the plenary session, the Democratic Party held a party meeting and made this decision after 3 hours and 30 minutes of discussion.

Previously, there was a consensus within the party to reject the appointment consent bill, but considering concerns about cooperation with the new government and ruling party, as well as the upcoming local elections in June, they appear to have decided to approve the appointment of nominee Han.

With this decision, the Democratic Party is now more likely to demand the withdrawal of the nomination of Jeong Ho-young, the nominee for Minister of Health and Welfare, who has not yet been appointed.

After the party meeting, the Democratic Party plans to hold a press briefing to explain detailed matters related to the party's stance.
