People's Power Rep. Kim Eun-hye announced that she would run for the Gyeonggi governor election, which is considered the biggest battleground in the June local elections.

In Power of the People, former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min had already cast his vote, and lawyer Kang Yong-seok, who had been expelled from the party in the past, also jumped in.

Yesterday (5th), Yoon Seok-yeol, the elected spokesman, and Kim Eun-hye, a member of the People's Strength, announced her candidacy for the Gyeonggi governor election.



Assemblyman Kim said, "If the 20th century was the era of Seoul, the 21st century should be the era of Gyeonggi-do."



[Kim Eun-hye / Rep. of People's Power: We will break through the numerous reform tasks that lie ahead of us.

I will become Gyeonggi Province's 'Iron Lady'.]



She also denounced the suspicion of the development of Daejang-dong, Seongnam-si, a local district, saying, "Ex-Governor Lee Jae-myung has turned Gyeonggi-do into a chaos of real estate corruption."



They each aimed directly at the Democratic candidates who emphasized their relationship with the former governor.



Former Rep. Seung-min Yoo, who had previously declared his candidacy, welcomed the election, saying, "I am looking forward to the success of the primary by running for Representative Kim."



The people's power lineup was structured in a four-way battle with Shim Jae-cheol and former lawmaker Ham Jin-gyu.



In addition, lawyer Kang Yong-seok, a YouTube broadcast host, expressed his intention to run for office, beating the people's power.



Lawyer Kang was expelled from the Grand National Party, the forerunner of the People's Power, in 2010 for disparaging remarks by female announcers.



Attorney Kang, who currently does not have a party, applied for and received approval from the People's Power Seoul Party, and her final restoration must go through the resolution of the Supreme Council.



A top official said, "We are reviewing whether Kang's various allegations against Lee Jun-seok during her election process are the same."
