Kim Ki-hyun “I will give up my vested rights”… Jang Je-won: “I’m going to stop for a while” and hint that he won’t run for office.

Kim Ki-hyun, leader of the People Power Party, said on the 11th, “All members of our party, including me, will give up all vested interests that do not meet the expectations of the people.” Regarding the official termination of the Inyohan Innovation Committee on this day, Representative Kim said, “The results of the Innovation Committee will be reflected in an orderly manner in the party’s official organization.” On this afternoon, Rep. Jang Je-won (Busan Sasang), a key member of the pro-Yoon (Yoon Seok-yeol) group, hinted at not running in next year’s general election, saying, “Now I’m going to pause for a while.” With 120 days left before next year’s general election, the Innovation Committee has come to an end with the evaluation of it as an ’empty-handed Innovation Committee’, and interest is growing in the reform movement of the pro-Yun core and the party leadership.

Representative Kim said at the Supreme Council meeting this afternoon, “I will respond to the people’s call to save the people’s livelihood and economy with the determination to live if I want to die.” He said, “There are some agendas that are difficult to apply to real-world politics, but I strongly agree with the direction and essential purpose,” and added, “I will show this with actions, not just words.”

At around 8 p.m. on this day, Rep. Jang posted a post on Facebook after visiting his father, the late Jang Seong-man, former vice-chairman of the National Assembly, saying, “It’s already been 8 years since my father passed away,” and “I miss my father! “Now I’m going to pause for a moment,” he wrote. A ruling party official said, “Rep. Jang is said to not run in next year’s general election,” and added, “Now, Representative Kim’s decision remains.” On the 12th, CEO Kim was scheduled to attend a coal briquette sharing volunteer activity in Guryong Village, Seoul, with all leadership members in attendance, but suddenly canceled the event. There is also speculation that Representative Kim may also declare that he will not run for office as early as the 12th.

However, Representative Kim said, “The results of the Innovation Committee will be reflected in an orderly manner in the party’s official organization.” There was an interpretation that he distanced himself from the argument that he should resign from the position of leader, which erupted within the party in response to the question of responsibility for the party crisis. Supreme Council member Kim Seok-gi, who is close to Representative Kim, said at the Supreme Council meeting, “Does this mean that only if Representative Kim steps down and who becomes the party leader will they necessarily win the general election?”
