Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People's Power, called for Kim Seung-hee, a candidate for Minister of Health and Welfare, to resign voluntarily.
After the Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly today (4th), floor leader Kwon responded to a reporter's question, "Public opinion on candidate Kim Seung-hee is not good. "It's a personal decision whether or not you have to make a decision about where you're going," he said.
It means that the ruling party's floor leader has publicly called for a decision on how to deal with candidate Kim.
Earlier, as the National Election Commission asked the prosecution to investigate Kim on suspicion of violating the Political Fund Act, an inappropriate atmosphere spread within the ruling party.
