All members of the election management committee of the Korea Football Association will resign. As a result, the election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association, which had been decided on March 23, has also been canceled. Against this backdrop, current chairman Chung Mong-gyu also announced his position.
The election management committee of the Korea Football Association officially announced on the 10th, "The election management committee, which was legally selected in accordance with the association's regulations and procedures, carried out all procedures related to this election fairly and objectively. Nevertheless, several unfounded accusations and protests were raised during the election. The committee deeply regrets this situation and decided to resign after deliberation, judging that it is impossible for the committee to fulfill its responsibilities normally."
The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association was originally scheduled to take place on Tuesday. However, candidate Huh Jung-moo filed for an injunction over the election's uncertainty and unfairness, and the Seoul Central District Court cited the request, postponing the election temporarily.
The temporarily postponed election schedule has been decided to be on the 23rd of next month. The election management committee of the Korea Football Association said in a press release on the 9th, "The 55th presidential election of the Korea Football Association will be held on January 23rd, and the detailed schedule is as follows. The electors' list will be confirmed on January 16 after a period of three days from the following day when the electors read the electors' list to check and modify their personal information. The confirmed list will be provided to the candidates, and the campaign period will be from the 16th when the electors' list is confirmed to the 22nd, the day before the election."
In the end, all members of the election management committee will resign. "Despite efforts to collect opinions on candidates for the smooth progress of the election while respecting the court's decision, malicious slander has continued. I hope that this election will lead to a more mature election culture in the soccer community," the Korea Football Association said. "As all members of the election management committee announced their intention to resign this afternoon, the election schedule (drawal on December 12 and election on August 23) announced on Wednesday was canceled. The Korea Football Association said it will discuss general matters related to the presidential election process, including the reorganization of the election management committee, and announce it again next week."
Against this backdrop, current Chairman Chung Mong-gyu also announced his position. Chairman Chung Mong-gyu expressed deep regret, saying, "Let's hold elections for the development of Korean soccer, free from the disruptions."

Let's get out of the limbo and hold an election for the development of Korean soccer
As a candidate, I deeply regret that the 55th presidential election of the Korea Football Association, which had been crippled due to unfounded criticism and protests by some candidates, has finally reached the stage of resignation of all members of the election management committee and postponement of the second election.
This has deepened distrust, and many soccer players who were expecting a new president to be elected through fair elections are disappointed and even worried that the KFA will stop functioning.
In particular, the composition of the Election Commission was an independent resolution made by the board of directors after I was excluded from my duties, and even though it was clear that I could not be involved in the operation, I maliciously slandered it as if it were related to me.
In addition, despite the prolonged absence of the executive branch and the serious threat to the smooth progress of the KFA's projects, other candidates are not concerned at all and are bent on denigrating the KFA with groundless accusations and false claims and solely delaying the election.
As one of the candidates, I urge the Korea Football Association to conduct fair and transparent elections. Please actively promote the entrustment of elections to the National Election Commission, reorganize the Election Commission and establish an election plan so that it has fairness and procedural transparency that can be recognized by everyone without rushing. 메이저사이트
I suggest that other candidates stop baseless slander and conduct policy-driven primary activities. The Election Commission should be stern and tough against any future violations of the rules or acts that interfere with a sound election.
In the future, I will only think about the development of Korean soccer and conduct a policy-oriented election campaign. I hope that the election will be held for the development of Korean soccer, free from the disruptions.
