This means that he will be reinstated after being elected as an independent by throwing away his position as a member of the Supreme Council and withdrawing from the party.

If Kim leaves the party to run for office, the People’s Power will vacate one seat in the Supreme Council. In response, Supreme Council member Kim reaffirmed his determination to run for office again, saying, “Any sacrifice incidental to running for an independent candidate must be taken of course.”
