Candidate Huh filed an injunction against the Korea Football Association on the 30th of last month, asking for a ban on the election, saying that the election for the president of the association is being conducted unfairly. The scheduled election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association was postponed on the 7th, citing the court's request for provisional injunction.
The next presidential election was scheduled to take place on the 8th. In the election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association, Chung Mong-kyu, the current chairman, is running for the fourth term, while Heo Jung-moo, a visiting professor of sports record analysis at the Graduate School of Records and Information Science in Shinmun-seonji University, and Heo Jung-moo, former chairman of the Daejeon Hana Citizen, jumped into the competition.
Candidate Heo said, `We strongly welcome the court's wise decision by identifying problems and raising the alarm about the unfair and opaque election management of the Korea Football Association.'
He also disclosed his position on concerns that there is a disadvantage of not being able to participate in elections that begin again due to age restrictions. Election regulations require candidates to be under the age of 70 on the day of the election. Heo, who was born on January 13, 1955, will be over 70.
Candidate Heo knew that he could be disadvantaged by the age limit, but rather than that, he thought more about the purpose of running for office, saying he would reform the unfairness and opacity of the Korea Football Association. So I applied for a provisional injunction at the risk of any future disadvantagesThe purpose of this provisional injunction was to change the unfair and unfair management of the Korea Football Association for the future of Korean soccer rather than to dwell on the position, and to reform it from this election process", he explained.
If you can't run, you'll be able to help as much as possible by bringing all the remaining energy to reform the Korea Football Association and develop Korean soccer, and that's the role of the 'Jinggumdari' as stated in the declaration of candidacy, he added.
The court judged that the ongoing election for the president of the Korea Football Association `there is a serious procedural violation that is recognized to have significantly violated the fairness of the election and thereby affected the election process.'
It also pointed out that the majority of the electors were formed through a lottery process where transparency and fairness were not confirmed. The court added that it was not possible to confirm whether the committee was organized in accordance with the articles of association and election management regulations because it did not disclose who was appointed as a member of the election management committee.
And if the election is held, there is a high possibility that a subsequent dispute will be triggered over its effectiveness. The court said that considering these points comprehensively, the need to preserve the application for provisional injunction is also clarified.
