The legislative conflict that's been over...Announcement of the results of the first round of voting by the President of the Medical Council today

The results of the election of the president of the Korean Medical Association will be announced today, with the vote to select representatives of doctors' organizations to resolve the parliamentary conflict.

From the 2nd to today, the Korean Medical Association held a by-election vote to select the next chairman through electronic voting.

The election is a by-election held in which former chairman Lim Hyun-taek, who took office in May last year, was impeached in six months amid controversy over verbal abuse and communication, and five candidates, including Kim Taek-woo, president of the National Association of Metropolitan and Provincial Doctors, Kang Hee-kyung, a professor at Seoul National University Medical School, Joo Su-ho, former chairman of the Medical Association, Lee Dong-wook, chairman of the Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Association, and Choi An-na, a planning director of the Medical Association.

If there is no majority of the votes in the first round of voting, which closes today, the winner will be determined in the final bilateral competition from the 7th to the 8th.

The next chairman will be tasked with finding a solution to the parliamentary conflict that began in February last year by reorganizing the lines of the medical association, which is operated under the emergency committee system.
