The association announced on the 15th that it had postponed the 32nd presidential election, which was supposed to be held at the Sunshine Hotel in Daejeon on the 16th, and that it had decided to reschedule the election later.
The sudden postponement of the chairman's election is due to the fact that Chairman Kim Taek-kyu's request for provisional injunction against the association was partially cited in the court.
The association explained that `the Election Commission was operated by seven members, but it was confirmed that some members who were not qualified under the regulations participated in deliberation and decision-making at the first to third meetings.'
The Seoul Eastern District Court, which deliberated on Chairman Kim's request for provisional injunction, such as suspension of the invalidity of the candidate's registration, judged that there was a serious flaw in the election management committee's decision-making and ordered Chairman Kim to be qualified as a candidate.
As a result, the association needs to reorganize the members of the election management committee (three members) to hold a fair meeting and reconsider. However, the association explains that it is impossible to re-deliberate on various agendas before the election day because it is impossible to recruit candidates for members recommended by the 92nd board of directors.
The association received legal advice regarding the decision to apply for provisional disposition and received the opinion that all procedures of the Election Commission, including members of the election committee with disqualification reasons, are highly likely to be nullified"Accordingly, it has been decided to temporarily postpone the election schedule for the chairman of the Badminton Korea Association scheduled for the 16th."
In the future, the association will reorganize the election management committee and reconsider the existing deliberation agenda by a qualified committee.
