The first online convention, how is it carried out?
[기자]When I normally think of a national convention, I think of a large gymnasium filled with numerous supporters and party members.
The appearance of supporters gathered in the field and displaying their tax was one of the highlights of the convention and a factor in its success.
However, in the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis, we cannot see this today.
The Democratic Party will hold a national convention in Yeouido starting at 1:00 pm today via live streaming online.
It is the first in the history of political parties.
The Democratic Party decided to hold a national convention according to the three-stage distance level, as the spread of Corona 19 was unusual.
Consequently, the number of personnel at the site was reduced to around 10 people, including staff and reporters.
Representative Lee Hae-chan, who was subjected to active surveillance due to contact with a person confirmed by corona19, and was judged negatively, decided not to attend the convention after hard work.
Instead, the congratulatory speech will be used as a video message.
Additionally, leaders such as Kim Tae-nyeon and Secretary General Yoon Ho-jung have also decided not to attend in order to preemptively respond to the spread of Corona 19.
With the exception of candidate Nak-Yeon Lee, who is in quarantine, other candidates representing the party and candidates for the highest committee will wait in separate spaces and will only be present on the site when political opinions are announced.
[앵커]At today’s online convention, the new party representative and the top five elected members are selected, right?
[기자]Three candidates, Nak-yeon Lee, Bu-gyeom Kim, and Joo-min Park, voted for the next party representative.
First, candidate Lee Nak-yeon, “the party leader is Lee Nak-yeon anyway” is so popular that he is followed.
Until now, the lack of support within the party was a weakness, but I am interested in whether I can secure my position in the party through party authority before the challenge to presidential power.
Faced with this, candidate Boogyeom Kim said that he would not do it with a 7-month-old party leader like Lee, resigned his presidency and expressed his intention to complete the party leader.
Instead of challenging the presidency, we will help recreate the regime for years to come.
Candidate Park Joo-min also announced a surprise race for the last minute, asking to change the party to suit the times.
Candidate Park is pro-Moon Jae-in, and her strong point is that the support of party members is strong.
Along with this, 8 candidates challenged the upper committee to select 5 members.
The candidates So Byeong-hoon, No Woong-rae, Lee Won-wook, Kim Jong-min and Shin Dong-geun, Yeom Tae-young, Yang Hyang-ja, and Han Byeong-do are candidates.
Candidate Hyang-ja Yang, the only woman among them, has effectively been chosen as the highest member of the women’s committee.
After the online voting above for the rights party and national delegates, and the online voting for the Central Committee today, the count begins at 3:50 p.m.
The counting process is expected to take about an hour, and the final election results are expected to be announced around 5:00 p.m.
If candidate Lee Nak-yeon, who is in self-quarantine, is elected party representative, he will announce his winning impressions via an Internet video connection.
After the convention, YTN plans to connect the new Democratic Party representative through a live video feed to hear his impressions on the elections and future party management strategies.
Until now, I am YTN Seung-bae Lee from the Ministry of Politics.
