The Korea Football Association (KFA) Election Management Committee has confirmed the future process while acknowledging the qualification of Chairman Chung Mong-kyu, who is seeking his fourth consecutive term as a candidate for the 55th presidential election.
The election management committee held its second meeting on the 8th and said, "We will maintain the eligibility of all three existing candidates, including Chairman Chung."

Former national soccer team coach Huh Jung-moo and visiting professor Shin Moon-seon at Myongji University, who are competing with Chung, have argued that the Culture, Sports and Tourism Ministry should not recognize Chung's qualifications as a candidate who demanded the KFA to impose severe disciplinary measures beyond the suspension of his qualifications. Under the KFA's articles of association, a person who has been disciplined for "above suspension of qualifications" cannot become an executive.

In particular, pan-opposition candidates raised questions about the fairness of the election, saying, "The election management committee did not deliberate on Chung's right to run for election." However, the committee said, "We reviewed the court's judgment in the recent provisional injunction case on the right to run for the election for the head of an athletic organization. We had official discussions on the matter at two meetings on May 3 and May 8, and all three of them decided to maintain their qualifications." Immediately after the first meeting on May 3, the committee announced the election day (May 26), announcing the recognition of Chung's qualifications as a candidate.

The election management committee said, "It's impossible" to argue that Heo and Shin should expand the electoral college. The election management committee's logic is that since the presidential election is operated within the scope of the KFA's election management regulations, it cannot determine the structure such as expanding the electoral college and changing the distribution by job function.

Former director Huh and professor Shin have argued that "fair competition" is possible only when the number of representatives and executives who receive 68 votes among the electors set at 194 in the presidential election management regulations can be influenced by Chairman Chung.

The election management committee has also set detailed schedules for elections. To ensure fairness, the electoral register lottery will be held by outside companies, and candidates' 온라인바카라 representatives and neutral observers will be present at the venue. The committee will receive three-day access to the electoral register and objections from Friday, and the election management committee will confirm the electoral register on Saturday.
