Elections for the president of the Korea Football Association 'Another Postponed' desperately need to negotiate between the Korea Football Association and candidates

Blog Article

Amid the crippling election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association (KFA), cooperation between the Korea Football Association (KFA) and the candidate has become urgent.

The Korea Football Association announced on the 10th that the 55th presidential election of the Korea Football Association, which was scheduled for the 23rd, was canceled due to the resignation of all members of the election management committee. The election management committee said, "We have carried out all procedures related to the election fairly and objectively, but unfounded criticism and protests have been raised several times during the election," adding, "It is impossible to fulfill our responsibilities as we normally take charge."
As a result, the election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association is facing an unprecedented situation of two postponements. Originally, the election day for the president of the Korea Football Association was on the 8th, but the election was suspended a day before the vote as the Seoul Central District Court accepted an application for an injunction to suspend the election filed by candidate Huh Jung-moo on the 7th.

Two days after the court's judgment, the Korea Football Association announced that it would hold an election on the 23rd. Then, candidates Huh Jung-moo and Shin Moon-sun strongly protested. It is a one-sided notification, and it is judged that solving the problems that were the background of the application for provisional injunction is a priority.

In the end, the election management committee decided to resign, and the election schedule for the president of the Korea Football Association fell into a mystery. Due to the repeated disruptions, distrust in the Korea Football Association deepened and disappointed soccer players and fans. The three candidates who voted for the election told the Daily that consultations are needed for the normal progress of the election.
Referring to the opacity of the electors' draw pointed out by the court, Huh's official said, "Now that we have a lot of practical things to take care of, we need a lot of discussion and consultation with each other."

Candidate Shin also pointed out the issue of the electors' lottery and stressed, "There is a limit to obtaining personal information consent from all 150,000 electors," adding, "We will have to exchange opinions between candidates on various issues."

Candidate Chung Mong-gyu urged, "Please establish an election plan so that we can have fairness and procedural transparency that everyone can acknowledge."

The consignment of the Central Election Commission (Central Election Commission), which candidate Huh and candidate Shin have steadily raised since the first disruptions of the election, seems to be in agreement. Candidate Chung also asked the Korea Football Association to actively promote the consignment of the election to the Central Election Commission for fair and transparent progress as one of the candidates.

The Korea Football Association is known to have already contacted the Central Election Commission. On the 8th, I inquired about the consignment of the election of the president of the association, and I submitted the data requested by the Central Election Commission and am waiting for a reply. However, even if the Central Election Commission entrusts the election of the president of the Korea Football Association, it is essential to reorganize the Korea Football Association's election management committee.
The task of making a list of electors should be carried out by the relevant organization's Election Management Committee. As the court pointed out the opacity of the Election Commission and the Korea Football Association came up with a supplementary measure to disclose the list, it is not expected that there will be any major problems.

Public debates among candidates have also surfaced again. Shin repeatedly suggested that the debate should be held with enough time since the election has been postponed. All three candidates have agreed to hold the debate, but it has not actually taken place. 안전놀이터

Meanwhile, the Korea Football Association will discuss the overall contents of the presidential election, including a plan to reorganize the election management committee, and announce it within this week.
