The election of the 55th president of the Korea Football Association was catastrophic. Now, there are three scenarios that the Korea Football Association can choose in reality with the starting line again.
On the 10th, the Korea Football Association announced in a press release, "The election schedule (drawing on the 12th and the election on the 23rd) announced on the 9th was canceled as all members of the Korea Football Association's election management committee expressed their intention to resign this afternoon." It followed the announcement by the Korea Football Association's election management committee about 20 minutes earlier, saying, "We deeply regret the current situation, and we decided to resign after deliberation because we judged it was impossible for the committee to fulfill its responsibilities normally."
With this, the election for the president of the Korea Football Association begins again from a blank state. Controversy continued from the beginning of the formation of the election management committee in the first primary in 12 years, and candidates Shin Moon-sun and Heo Jung-moo demanded transparent election procedures, including the disclosure of the list of election management members. Finally, on the 30th of last month, candidate Heo submitted an application for provisional injunction related to the election of the president of the Korea Football Association, and the election was immediately postponed, citing it at the Seoul Central District Court on the 7th. Since then, the election management committee has hurriedly released the adjusted election schedule, but it has only raised opposition from the two candidates, eventually nullifying the election itself.
Now, elections must be held again within 60 days. According to Article 38 of the Presidential Election Management Regulations of the Football Association, if the committee decides to invalidate the election, a re-election must be held, and the date on which the reason for the implementation is confirmed pursuant to Article 40 is the day when the committee announces the reason. In other words, the election itself is canceled due to the announcement of the general resignation of the Election Management Committee, so the election should be considered invalid, and the election should be held within 60 days from January 10 in accordance with Article 7 of the same regulation.
First of all, candidates view the commission of the Central Election Commission as the fairest way to re-elect. The top organization, the Korea Sports Council, is conducting elections for the chairman of the Korea Sports Council by entrusting it to the election committee. The two candidates have been insisting on the commission since the unfairness of the Korea Football Association's election management committee arose, and candidate Chung Mong-gyu also said, "As one of the candidates, I urge the Korea Football Association to conduct fair and transparent elections. Let's actively pursue the commission of elections to the election committee," expressing his position that it is most suitable for re-election.
Some argue that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism should designate the Korea Football Association as an "accident organization" to form a new election management committee. Candidate Shin held an emergency press conference on the 10th and suggested the plan. The reason is that since the term of the executive branch currently set up by Chairman Chung Mong-kyu will end on the 21st, the urgent reorganization of the election management committee and confirmation of the schedule will inevitably lead to an administrative vacuum. Rather, the government should switch to an emergency committee system under the management of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism after the 21st to make more efforts to ensure fairness by minimizing the influence of people related to the Korea Football Association.
In fact, it is not impossible for the Korea Football Association to reorganize its election management committee and hold a re-election for the president of the Korea Football Association until the 21st. It is true that the term itself of the Chung Mong-gyu executive will end on January 21, but according to Article 22(8) of the articles of association, the office can be executed only for projects that continue until a successor is inaugurated, which can resolve the administrative vacuum to some extent. The election management committee can survive from the date it is established under Article 4(3) of the Presidential Election Management Regulations to 60 days after the election, so it is not a big problem for the election process. However, 메이저놀이터 with confidence in the administration of the Korea Football Association already gone, unreasonably reorganizing the election management committee only provides a pretext for repeating the current situation.
Along with the announcement of the cancellation of the election, the Korea Football Association explained, "We will discuss the overall matters related to the progress of the presidential election in the future, including the reorganization of the election management committee, and announce it again sometime next week." As the game is currently faltering, attention is being paid to what decision the Korea Football Association will make on this election.
