"Call for the Judgment of the Democratic Party in North Jeolla"

Jang Dong-hyuk, Standing Election Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, emphasized, "The way to simultaneously judge the arrogance of President Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party of Korea, and the arrogance regarding Jeong Cheong-rae's nomination is to concentrate your votes on the candidates from the People Power Party."


On the 23rd, meeting with voters in front of Gyeonggijeon in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, he said, "For 35 years, the Democratic Party has held positions such as governor, member of the National Assembly, mayor, and county head, but if the quality of life in North Jeolla has not improved, then the Democratic Party, which occupied all those positions, must be held accountable."


Chairman Jang stated, "Even if they do not care about the lives of citizens or the development of Jeonju, their confidence that all they need is a party nomination is what has buried the development of North Jeolla and thrown away the progress of Jeonju. That unreasonable confidence is what has now led to the arrogance of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party, and Jeong Cheong-rae."

He also indirectly mentioned Kim Kwan-young, the independent candidate running for North Jeolla Governor. Chairman Jang said, "There is an independent candidate running in the North Jeolla gubernatorial election," and added, "People in Honam are outraged, saying that the Democratic Party’s nomination process in Honam is an arrogant one. They are filled with anger to judge the arrogance of Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party."


He continued, "I am not sure if electing an independent candidate in North Jeolla will serve as a judgment on the arrogant nomination process," and appealed to voters to cast their precious ballot for the People Power Party candidates.


Chairman Jang said, "Here in Jeonju, starting from North Jeolla, please judge the arrogance of the Democratic Party and Lee Jae-myung and help rebuild the future of the Republic of Korea. The People Power Party promises to return tenfold, a hundredfold the value of the votes you give us."


Regarding Yang Jeong-moo, the People Power Party's own candidate for North Jeolla Governor, he praised him as "someone who has actually managed a business," and added, "He is someone who understands the meaning of every drop of sweat and the weight of a pay envelope. Isn't this the kind of candidate who should take charge of North Jeolla?"


In response, candidate Yang said, "Our North Jeolla’s economic indicators rank last among the nation’s 16 metropolitan and provincial governments, and the suicide rate exceeds the national average," directly criticizing, "This is because for 35 years, the single ruling party (the Democratic Party) has dominated this land and deceived the people here."



He promised, "Now, we must change and innovate to escape from being at the bottom. If I, Yang Jeong-moo, become governor, I will unite with 107 People Power Party lawmakers to secure funding and bring it to North Jeolla."
