As of today, as the registration of candidates for the People’s Power Party representative election begins, the curtain has risen on the party’s full power race.
From day one, the pro-Yun Seok-Yeol group’s intense attack on Candidate Chul-Soo Ahn continued.
When the results of Candidate Chul-soo Ahn came out in the polls, the pro-Yoon faction with Candidate Ki-Hyun Kim came out nervously ahead.
Reporter Jo Hee-won covered the story.

From the first day of candidate registration, Candidate Cheol-soo Ahn became the target of pro-Yun Seok-yeol factions.
Yoon Haek-gwan and Representative Lee Cheol-gyu attacked Candidate Chul-soo Ahn for playing ‘fake Yoon Simpal’.

“As far as I know, Congressman Ahn Chul-soo and the president have not had proper communication since the new government was launched.”
There was also criticism that he was the same as former lawmaker Na Gyeong-won, saying, “President Yoon was angry because he disappeared for 24 hours when he was chairman of the presidential transition committee.”

“It’s the same case as Na Kyung-won’s case. It was very disappointing that there could be anyone who takes public office so lightly.”
This intense attack from the pro-Yun Seok-Yeol line seems to be because Candidate Chul-Soo Ahn is riding an unexpected rise in public opinion polls.
Specifically, in a survey of people’s strength supporters, candidate Ahn outperformed candidate Kim Ki-hyun outside the margin of error.
It’s a situation where pro-Yoon Seok-yeol, who is pushing candidate Kim Ki-hyun, would be nervous.
Candidate Ki-Hyun Kim recently apologized after revealing a photo taken with singer Nam Jin and volleyball player Kim Yeon-kyung, causing controversy.
In addition, after promoting that 8,000 people gathered during the launch ceremony last weekend, he was still criticized by candidates competing for the gymnasium election.
The two candidates Kim Ki-hyun and Ahn Cheol-soo fought a war of words today over who is the real Yoon Shim.

“Candidate Cheol-soo Ahn is a bit on the other side of the president.”

“I said that I would rather become a candidate who becomes Yoon He-min rather than Yoon-min-pal.”
In addition, the fact that the former CEO Lee Jun-seok resumed his activities and that the pro-Lee Jun-seok lawyer, Cheon Ha-ram, jumped into the election also became a variable.
