[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Among the four independent defectors from the People Power Party in the general election (Hong Jun-pyo, Kim Tae-ho, Yoon Sang-hyun, Kwon Seong-dong), the first reinstatement of Representative Kwon Seong-dong was decided on the 17th, and Representative Kim Tae-ho (Sancheong, Hamyang, Geochang, Hapcheon) also submitted his membership application to the Gyeongnam Provincial Party Office by fax that morning.

Representative Kim was elected as an independent candidate after leaving the party in protest of being excluded from the nomination for the April 15 general election.

Kim Tae-ho had expressed his intention to return to the party and said he would wait for the party leadership's decision.

On the same day, five months after the general election, he suddenly submitted his membership application, and following Representative Kwon, the matter was handed over to the People Power Party's emergency committee.

On SNS, Representative Kim Tae-ho had expressed his intention to return, saying, "I hope to receive good news from my old home once the party's recovery is somewhat completed."

In an interview with a local media outlet, he said, "Next year's by-election is a preliminary battle for the presidential election, and no matter what anyone says, the presidential election must be won through opposition party unification," adding, "Everyone who will join must unite under a big tent."
