Preliminary Candidate Min Hyung-bae Expresses Position on Unification with Preliminary Candidates Kim Sung-jin and Park Si-jong

“Democratic Party Primary, Hope for a Fair Contest”

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Min Hyung-bae, a preliminary candidate of the Democratic Party for the National Assembly election in Gwangsan-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced his position regarding the withdrawal of preliminary candidate Kim Seong-jin and the unification with preliminary candidate Park Si-jong.

On the 11th, preliminary candidate Min released a statement saying, "I regret the withdrawal of preliminary candidate Kim Seong-jin, who could not complete the race until the end," and added, "However, since the withdrawal is due to controversies over unfair primaries caused by illegal access to party members' information, expressing support for another candidate would only provoke another unfair primary."

He continued, "I hope the rumor that the unification between preliminary candidates Kim Seong-jin and Park Si-jong was due to the cut-off burden caused by Kim Seong-jin's illegal access to party members' information, which has been circulating, is not true," and stated, "I deeply regret the collusion and divisive politics that imply a willingness to drink the poison cup held by the opposing candidate for the sake of winning the primary."

He added, "I hope the Democratic Party primary in Gwangsan-gu (Eul) will be conducted fairly without causing any division, aftereffects, or fatigue in the local community."
