Recognized for Legislative Achievements on Livelihood and Safety
Key Negotiator Bridging Ruling and Opposition Parties

Myeonggu Kang, member of the People Power Party representing Gumi City (Eul constituency) in North Gyeongsang Province, has been appointed as the People Power Party's secretary for the National Assembly's Administration and Security Committee.


The Administration and Security Committee is a key standing committee that handles major issues such as the restructuring of the police investigation system, reform of the National Election Commission, and reorganization of government agencies. The role of the secretary, who leads negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties, is expected to become even more important.

In the 22nd National Assembly, Assemblyman Kang has been active in the Political Affairs Committee and the Agriculture, Food, Rural Affairs, Oceans, and Fisheries Committee, focusing on livelihood-oriented policy activities such as protecting financial consumers, improving substandard modular classroom construction, and responding to the opening of agricultural markets.


In the field of administration and security, he has developed policy expertise by promoting legislative amendments to address blind spots in designating depopulation risk areas in urban-rural composite cities' towns and townships, as well as pursuing initiatives to improve the organization and election management systems of the National Election Commission.


Kang stated, "There can be no division between the ruling and opposition parties when it comes to people's livelihoods and public safety," adding, "As the People Power Party's secretary, I will do my utmost to earn the public's trust by ensuring responsible negotiations and rational committee operations."


The Administration and Security Committee oversees the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the National Police Agency, the National Fire Agency, the National Election Commission, and the Ministry of Personnel Management. It is expected to become the central stage for future discussions on the restructuring of the police investigation system, reform of the National Election Commission, and reorganization of government agencies.



With partisan standoffs continuing in the committee, how effectively Myeonggu Kang demonstrates his negotiation skills and policy expertise will be a test of his political presence.
