The People Power Party’s April 10 General Election Nomination Management Committee (Public Affairs Committee) decided to apply a deduction point in the primary to ‘independent candidates after leaving the party’, and lawmakers Kwon Seong-dong, Yoon Sang-hyun, and Kim Tae-ho, who were elected as independents in the last general election, It was announced on the 18th that it would be excluded from the target.
When there was opposition from some within the party, saying, “It was the mistake of the Mission Committee at the time to make an unreasonable cutoff (excluding nominations) of those who would be elected, and penalties should not be imposed again on those who were elected and returned to the party,” the Commission reconsidered. It was decided. An official from the People Power Party said, “I understand that when the nomination screening plan was announced two days ago, there was a protest from some lawmakers who were included in the deduction points for ‘independent candidates after leaving the party’.”
A key official of the Public Relations Commission told this newspaper on this day, “We are not deleting the rule itself for reducing points for ‘independent candidates after leaving the party’,” and added, “We will discuss whether running as an independent candidate after leaving the party during the last general election is a relevant act and handle it carefully.” “I will do it,” he said.
Previously, in the nomination screening plan announced on the 16th by the Public Officials Commission, for primary candidates who left the party within 5 years of the election date (April 10) and ran as an independent or a member of a political party, ‘7’ in case of two-party competition and ‘5’ in case of three-party competition. ′, announced that a deduction of 4 would be applied in a 4-party match.
For example, if Candidate A, who left the party in the last general election and ran as an independent candidate, receives 52% of the votes in this primary (two-way competition) and the opposing candidate receives 48% of the votes, Candidate A will receive 45% of the votes as a deduction point of 7 is applied. You will lose with 48%.
Previously, lawmakers Kwon Seong-dong (Gangneung, Gangwon-do), Yoon Sang-hyun (Incheon Dongmichuhol-eul, 4th term), and Kim Tae-ho (Gyeongnam Sancheong Hamyang Geochang Hapcheon, 3rd term) were nominated for the United Future Party (current People Power Party) during the April 15, 2020 general elections. When he was excluded, he left the party, ran as an independent candidate, and was elected.
