4 Seogu Council Members 'Expelled' · 7 Gwangsan Council Members '3-Month Suspension from Duty'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] A group of basic council members from Gwangju affiliated with the Democratic Party of Korea, who are suspected of violating party policy, have been collectively disciplined.

According to the Democratic Party of Korea Gwangju Metropolitan City Party on the 22nd, Kim Taeyoung, Kim Youngsun, Park Youngsook, and Kang Intaek, members of the Gwangju Seo-gu Council, were all expelled following the Ethics Tribunal meeting held that day.

They were suspected of violating party policy by running in the Gwangju Seo-gu Council chairperson election despite losing the primary and allegedly giving votes to the candidate who ran.

The Ethics Tribunal, composed of legal experts and others, listened to the explanations of the council members in question and, after deliberation, resolved to expel them.

Additionally, Lee Younghoon, Kang Jangwon, Kim Jaeho, Lee Miyoung, Kim Eundan, Yoo Youngjong, and Bae Hongseok, members of the Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Council who were referred to the Ethics Tribunal for violating the secret ballot obligation during the internal primary of Gwangsan-gu Council, were all suspended from party duties for three months.

Furthermore, Im Hanpil, a party member from Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Gap who continuously spread false information during the 21st general election, was also expelled.

Meanwhile, the disciplined council members and party member can file an objection to the central party within seven days from the moment they receive the certified content of the tribunal decision, which will be sent on the 23rd.

Once the central party issues a retrial decision, the effect of the tribunal decision will take immediate effect.
