He was picked by the party base, many of whom are still loyal to Yoon. The party leadership, realising he was not the best choice, tried to replace him at the last minute with a more moderate, experienced politician, only to be blocked by furious members.This has left the party weak and divided, with many suspecting it will splinter into rival factions after voting day.
