A day before the election of the 55th president of the Korea Football Association, the court cited the "prohibition of presidential election" issued by candidate Huh Jung-moo.
As a result, the election for the president of the Korea Football Association, which was scheduled to be held on the 8th, will be put on hold a day earlier.
The court found that the ongoing KFA presidential election had "significant procedural violations that would be acknowledged 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.
Earlier on the 30th of last month, candidate Huh filed an injunction with the Seoul Central District Court to ban the election of the president of the Korea Football Association.Candidate
he argued that the Election Commission appointed under the "Jeong Mong-gyu system" proceeds unfairly and opaquely with the election method, schedule and procedure, and candidate registration method.
As the court cites candidate Huh's injunction, it is expected to act as a big variable in the election of the president of the Korea Football Association.
