After the National Assembly passed a bill to remove the opposition party's veto when recommending a candidate for the Minister of Airlift, a meeting of the Candidate Recommendation Committee for the Minister of Airlift will be held today (18th).
The Democratic Party is saying that it will end the nomination of the candidate today, but the power of the people is confronting it, saying that the nomination committee will start again as the nominating committee resigned.

One of the nominating committee members on the Power of the People side resigned yesterday, saying, "I feel the limits of my role," and the other insisted that the nomination of candidates should be postponed until recruitment due to the vacancy of the nominating committee.
However, the Democratic Party's position is that it has to finish the voting process today because there are five members remaining in the voting quorum.

If a candidate for the Minister of Public Affairs is nominated today, senior researcher Kim Jin-wook and attorney Jeon Hyun-jung, who received the most 5 votes in the last meeting, will be discussed first.
However, there are many variables, such as opposition parties' opposition, that it is difficult to predict the final outcome.
