Preliminary competition (cut-off) results announced
In the midst of this, there is a lot of speculation regarding the vote rate for each candidate, which the party election commission has not disclosed.
The National Election Commission keeps quiet, saying that it may affect the main competition, but speculation continues as the results of the preliminary competition are a ‘measure’ for the results of the final competition a month later.
Yoo Heung-soo, chairman of the party convention election committee, announced the results of the preliminary contest on the 10th, revealing only the list of finalists and not revealing the percentage of votes and ranking. To avoid misunderstanding, the list of finalists was also announced only in the order of ‘Kanada’.
However, immediately following the announcement, several versions of ‘Jirashi’ (information magazines) regarding the vote rate for each candidate spread quickly in Yeouido.
Some said that Candidate Ki-Hyun Kim took first place with a majority, while others said Candidate Chul-Soo Ahn took first place with a gap of more than 10 percentage points from Candidate Kim.
The National Election Commission said it was a “false fact” and started to evolve, but Jirashi continued to spin.
The primary was conducted through a poll of 6,000 party members through three polling agencies on the 8th and 9th.
The National Election Commission explains that only three people confirmed the vote rate and ranking, including Chairman Yoo, Vice Chairman Kim Seok-ki, who is the secretary general of the party, and a working-level worker who participated in counting the results, and the other election commissioners did not know the results at all.
At the time of the 2021 National Convention, as the percentage of votes in the preliminary contest was leaked to the media and suffered difficulties, the people’s power is struggling to protect ‘iron security’ this time.
Chairman Yoo Seon-gwan made a joke to reporters, saying, “I saw the vote rate, but I forgot it because I was old.”

Regarding the results of the ‘undisclosed’ preliminary contest, the reactions of the two Kangin camps, Kim Ki-hyun and Ahn Cheol-soo, are different.
Candidate Kim’s side is confident that Candidate Kim won first place by beating Candidate Ahn by a wide margin.
Candidate Kim also used the expression ‘overwhelming support’, saying, “I think the overwhelming support you sent is an order to lead the party toward reform in stability.”
At the conservative policy debate on the 11th, Candidate Kim asked, “I saw the news yesterday and today, and there was an article. Who is the first place?” It seems that many party members agree with my opinion that calls for party stability.”
On the other hand, Candidate Ahn’s camp side is in the position that the claim of Candidate Kim’s camp is false, or a bigger problem if it is true, as the percentage of votes in the preliminary contest is not known because it is not disclosed.
Candidate Ahn met with reporters at the National Assembly on the day of the announcement of the results and said, “I don’t know” to the question of the ranking of the preliminary contest. .
Previously, Candidate Ahn’s camp announced that Candidate Kim was ranked first in the situation where the preliminary election polls were in progress.
media coverage
came out, they strongly protested, requesting confirmation of the identity of the speaker and disciplinary action by the party’s election commission.
Some interpret that the results of the preliminary contest are not leaked to the outside because there was no ‘majority support’ for a specific candidate.
An official from the National Election Commission said in a phone call with Yonhap News on the 12th, “There are many speculations, but most of them are groundless.”
The main contest will be held on the 8th of next month with ‘100% vote of party members’. Voting for the main contest will be held for four days from the 4th to the 7th of the same month, using a combination of mobile voting and automatic response method (ARS) voting.
If there is no majority vote in the main competition, the first and second place candidates will face off in a runoff, and the final results will be announced on the 12th.
