[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, expressed confidence in victory on the 30th regarding next year's by-elections for the Seoul and Busan mayoral positions, stating, "The results will inevitably favor the People Power Party."

Chairman Kim attended the first meeting of the party's Candidate Recommendation Committee held at the National Assembly that morning and said, "Please find the optimal candidates."

He criticized, "This Seoul and Busan mayoral by-election arose from an unbecoming act of sexual assault. Nevertheless, the police investigation into the cause of former Mayor Park Won-soon's death is showing no results and is being dismissed without charges."

He pointed out, "Especially, the Democratic Party of Korea had stated in their party rules that if an election occurs due to their own issues, they would not nominate candidates, but they have reversed that and are now planning to nominate candidates. The public is very clearly aware of this truth."

Chairman Kim urged, "If the Candidate Recommendation Committee makes efforts to find the optimal candidates for the People Power Party, I believe victory is certain. I ask the committee members participating in the committee to work hard."
