대전시의회는 26일 제9대 의회 후반기 의장과 부의장 선거를 위해 제279회 임시회 제1차 본회의를 열어 의장 후보에 단독 등록한 김선광(국민의힘·중구2) 후보에 대해 찬반 투표를 벌였으나 찬성 11표, 무효 11표로 부결됐다.
현행 대전시의회 기본조례 11조(의장.부의장의 선거)에 따르면 의장 선거와 관련 의장과 부의장은 의회에서 무기명 투표로 선거하되, 제적의원 과반수의 출석과 출석의원 과반수의 득표로 당선된다고 명시돼 있다.
앞서 국민의힘 소속 대전시의원들은 지난 24일 소속 의원 19명이 참석한 가운데 의원총회를 개최해 후반기 의장 후보로 김선광 의원을 제1부의장 후보 이한영 의원, 제2부의장 후보 황경아 의원을 각가 후보로 확정했었다.
하지만 의장과 부의장 선거를 위해 26일 개최한 임시회에서 1차 투표 결과 부결로 처리된 가운데 오후 5시 경 소집한 2차 회의에는 의결 정족수 미달로 회의가 무산됐다.
의장과 부의장 선출을 위한 회의 무산 이면에는 역시 자리싸움이었다.
양측은 상임위원장 자리 배분을 놓고 첨예한 의견 대립을 이어왔고, 결국 합의점에 도달하지 못하면서 끝내 회의가 무산됐다.
회의가 무산되자 김선광 의원을 지지하고 있는 11명의 대전시의원들은 이날 오후 5시경 대전시의회 1층 로비에서 기자회견을 열고 의장 선출이 무산된 것과 관련 반대편에 선 자당 의원들을 향해 의원직 사퇴를 요구하면서 비난했다.
기자회견에 참석한 11명의 의원들은 "민주당과 야합해 의회를 파행으로 몰고가는 의원들은 시민에게 사과하고 의원직을 사퇴하라"며 관련 의원들의 사퇴를 촉구했다.
이날 회의가 무산되면서 대전시의회는 향후 별도의 의사일정을 확정해 의장과 부의장을 선출하게 된다.

Daejeon City Council fails to elect chairman for second half of term
The first vote was rejected 11 to 11... The second vote was canceled due to lack of quorum.
The Daejeon City Council, which is currently operating in disarray over the election of the chairman and vice-chairman in the second half of the year, has reconvened an extraordinary meeting for the election of the chairman and vice-chairman in the second half of the year.
On the morning of the 26th, the Daejeon City Council held the first plenary session of the 279th Extraordinary Session for the election of the chairman and vice-chairman for the second half of the 9th National Assembly and voted for or against candidate Kim Seon-gwang (People Power Party, Jung-gu 2), who registered as the sole candidate for chairman, but voted in favor. It was rejected with 11 votes and 11 invalid votes.
According to Article 11 of the current Daejeon City Council Basic Ordinance (Election of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman), the chairman and vice-chairmen are elected by secret ballot at the council, and are elected with the attendance of a majority of the elected members and the votes of a majority of the members present.
Previously, Daejeon city council members belonging to the People Power Party held a general meeting with 19 members in attendance on the 24th and confirmed Rep. Kim Seon-kwang as the candidate for the second half chairman, Rep. Lee Han-young as the first vice-chairman, and Rep. Hwang Gyeong-ah as the second vice-chairman candidate. .
However, at the extraordinary meeting held on the morning of the 26th for the election of the chairman and vice-chairman, the first vote was rejected, and the second meeting convened around 5 pm was canceled due to lack of quorum.
The reason behind the failure of the meeting to elect the chairman and vice-chairman was a fight for position.
The two sides continued to have a sharp disagreement over the distribution of standing committee chair positions, and in the end, the meeting was canceled as they were unable to reach an agreement.
When the meeting was canceled, 11 Daejeon city council members who supported Rep. Kim Seon-kwang held a press conference in the lobby of the first floor of the Daejeon City Council around 5 pm on the same day and criticized the lawmakers of their own party who stood on the other side for the failure of the election of the chairman, demanding their resignation. .
The 11 lawmakers who attended the press conference urged the lawmakers involved to resign, saying, "Members who are colluding with the Democratic Party and causing the National Assembly to collapse should apologize to the citizens and resign from their positions."
As the meeting on this day was canceled, the Daejeon City Council will confirm a separate agenda for the future and elect a chairman and vice-chairman. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스대전세종충청 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
