Rep. Bae Hyun-jin: People Power Party Must Support Han Dong-hoon

As a member of the People Power Party, I believe it is crucial for our party to rally behind former interim leader Han Dong-hoon. My recent visit to Busan, accompanied by fellow lawmakers, was eye-opening. We went to offer quiet support, but the public's enthusiasm for Chairman Han was palpable. Even a taxi driver recognized me and expressed strong support for Han, lamenting the current party leadership's actions.

If you want to bring down the Jang Dong-hyuk leadership, I will vote.

This grassroots sentiment in Busan is incredibly encouraging. The "bone-deep" supporters and long-time party members we spoke with are clearly frustrated with the current central party leadership and hold high hopes for Chairman Han. Their feelings are a vital indicator of the political climate on the ground, and we must heed this message.

“

We confirmed in a short moment where the anger of our long-time party members and supporters in Busan is directed, and what expectations they have for the three people.

To capitalize on this positive energy, I strongly advocate for the party to strategically support Chairman Han. This could involve measures such as not fielding a candidate against him in key areas, or providing other forms of assistance. By resolving central party-related risks and actively backing Han, I am confident we can win back the Busan Buk-gap district, which we lost to the Democratic Party. This support will undoubtedly create a positive ripple effect, potentially benefiting our Busan mayoral candidate as well. It's about harnessing the will of the people and ensuring our party's strength in crucial regional strongholds.

If we manage the election in a direction that can support the former chairman Han, who is effectively our People Power Party candidate, by not nominating a candidate or by supporting him, we can win back Busan Buk-gap, a region that was lost to the Democratic Party.
