The Reform New Party announced that as of 5 p.m. that day, Lee was the only candidate to submit a registration application for the party's presidential preliminary candidate.


The Reform New Party initially set the cutoff criterion at a 7% party member vote share, assuming that two or more preliminary candidates would register. However, since Lee is the sole candidate, the party is also considering holding a vote for or against him.



The Reform New Party plans to hold a party election commission meeting on the 11th to finalize the rules related to the upcoming presidential preliminary election.
