The Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Party Committee of the National Innovation Party will begin a vote of approval or disapproval to elect Kang Kyung-sook, proportional representative member of the National Assembly, as the new provincial party chairperson.

However, after Jeong decided to withdraw his candidacy—stating that he wished to help reduce internal strife and contribute to unity and integration within the party—Kang was left as the sole candidate.
