Jang Dong-hyuk mentions possible action over support for Han Dong-hoon by the pro-Han faction
People Power Party Busan Buk-gap by-election, Jang Dong-hyuk's warning of measures against the pro-Han faction and the fallout within the party Check the direction of the conflict following Park Min-sik's nomination confirmation and the issue of conservative unity
Jang Donghyeok, the leader of the People Power Party, said he would verify the facts and take necessary measures against proHan Donghoon lawmakers who are helping former party leader Han Donghoon, who is running as an independent in the byelection for the Busan Bukgap constituency.
That day, the People Power Party's Candidate Recommendation Committee finalized former Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs Park Minsik as the party's candidate for Busan Bukgap. At a press conference at the National Assembly, Jang said that if a lawmaker was elected after receiving the party's nomination, they have corresponding roles and responsibilities, and that the party can function as a public party only by establishing its principles and standards.
He said he does not agree with the interpretation that internal party division began after former leader Han's expulsion, and explained that open solidarity with an expelled figure is a different matter from cooperation with another party. On the other hand, Rep. Han Jia countered that unity is needed rather than discipline, and stated her position that the election should be approached as a means of conservative unification.
