"Jeong Jun-ho, Democratic Party Preliminary Candidate for Gwangju Buk-gu Gap, Urges Swift Nomination Confirmation"

Over 100 Local Party Members and Residents Visit Central Party to Express Opinions

"Delayed Nomination Approval Decision... Concerns Over Local Public Sentiment Confusion"

As the confirmation of Jeong Jun-ho, the Democratic Party preliminary candidate for Buk-gu (Gap), Gwangju Metropolitan City, has been delayed, about 100 party members and residents visited the Democratic Party Central Committee to urge a prompt confirmation of the candidate.

All party members and residents of Buk-gu Gap expressed concerns, stating, "Due to recent controversies over the Democratic Party's nomination process, local public sentiment is uneasy, and the delay in deciding the Buk-gu Gap nomination is causing various misunderstandings," expressing worries about a possible loss of public support for the Democratic Party.

They continued, "The confirmation of preliminary candidate Jeong Jun-ho, who was selected through the Democratic Party's fair and proper procedures, should be expedited," emphasizing, "The Democratic Party must unite to check and judge the Yoon Seok-yeol administration through victory in this general election."

They also stated, "This primary was an innovative nomination process that combined 50% party members and 50% public opinion, reflecting the public will more than any previous primary method," and requested restraint from forces denying the party primary results, calling such acts a threat to the foundation of the Democratic Party and democracy.

Meanwhile, on the 11th, the Democratic Party's Executive Committee approved the nominations of four candidates who passed the primaries in seven electoral districts in the Gwangju area, but postponed the agenda regarding Jeong Jun-ho of Buk-gu Gap, who is suspected of illegal phone-based primary campaigning.
