People Power Party Nomination Controversy: Investigation and Response

Regarding last night’s report from TV Chosun that the People Power Party has exclusively obtained a list of 7 members, the bottom 10% of the active members of the National Assembly, who are excluded from the nomination race, i.e. subject to a ‘ cut’, ″We will investigate who actually provided the list or whether they were reported without the list and will investigate if necessary: ​​“We will take appropriate action,” he said.

Jang Dong-hyuk, general secretary of the People Power Party and member of the nomination management committee, met with reporters at the party headquarters in Yeouido this morning and said: “I don’t think such reports should be made.”

Secretary-General Jang responded to a reporter’s question about whether the issue was because the report was false or because confidential information had been leaked from the diplomatic mission, saying, “I don’t think it’s appropriate in any case” and “I don’t think I think that’s the role of the media.” ″ He underlined.

Secretary General Jang added that the parties have not yet been informed of the “cut” and that he would not say whether the list of cuts has already been decided or when he intends to notify it.

At the same time, he explained, “the ‘cutoff’ is not something to be announced publicly, but something to be notified individually, so it doesn’t seem appropriate to reveal when it will be announced.”

General Secretary Jang further said: “Those who have already moved their constituency are not subject to evaluation as active members.” “Just because the constituency is changed at the request of the party, other people are suddenly placed in the bottom 10% or 30% and will face an unexpected disadvantage.” “There will be no work,” he said.

Regarding the fact that lawyer Jang Young-ha, appointed to Gyeonggi Seongnam Prison, was found guilty in the appeal trial on charges of violating the Public Official Election Law, President Jang said: “ We will check and take the necessary measures.”
