On the 17th, former Democratic Party lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju hinted at the possibility of Representative Lee Jae-myung not running, saying: “Representative Lee Jae-myung’s purpose is not to become a member of the National Assembly just once”.
Former MP Jeong’s remarks came as he expressed his opinion on former Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong’s official candidacy for Incheon Gyeyang, Lee’s representative constituency. That day he said in an interview on CBS Radio: “Representative Lee’s purpose is not to once again serve as a member of the National Assembly, but because he is a strong presidential candidate from the progressive camp, he can make various decisions policies”.
Then he turned to former Minister Won and said, “Isn’t it a little strange that Representative Lee Jae-myung didn’t announce that he was going to Gyeyang-eul, but instead went there and shook his fist in the air and said : ‘If you want to beat me, come this way.’” Rep. Lee may not run, but former Minister Won’s candidacy for the seat of Gyeyang-eul, Incheon, to face Rep. Lee is argued to be a waste of time .
Regarding former People Power Party Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in’s insistence that Rep. Lee Jae-myung not run, former lawmaker Jeong said, “I think he is one some good advice.”
Former lawmaker Jeong, who headed the Democratic Party’s Education and Training Institute under the Lee Jae-myung regime, announced on the 8th that he would run for Gangbuk, Seoul, the constituency of the unrepresentative Park Yong-jin. Former Congressman Jeong told Congressman Park, who argued that he should not be nominated, citing allegations of sexual misconduct in the past, “(Why) am I not running?” and “We will take legal action.” He said: “The punishment for publishing false information to defeat an opposing candidate is severe.”
