Democratic Party of Korea Recommends Political Election and Ma Eun-hyuk as Candidates for Constitutional Judge

In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea has decided to recommend Ma Eun-hyuk, a senior judge at the Seoul Western District Court, and Jung Ki-sun, a president of the Seoul Western District Court, as candidates for the vacant constitutional judge.

Spokesman Han Min-soo told reporters after a closed Supreme Council meeting that there was a floor report that the two were suitable as candidates for the Constitutional Court, and all the Supreme Council members agreed.

Asked if the recommendation for a constitutional judge was in mind for the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol's president, which was proposed on the same day, a spokesman explained that it was originally intended to be recommended today.

Among the nine constitutional judges, three judges recommended by the National Assembly have yet to elect a successor after leaving office, and the ruling and opposition parties have disagreed over how the opposition party recommends two and the ruling party recommends one.
