[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, urged citizens to actively participate in the early voting for the by-elections held over two days on the 2nd and 3rd of next month.


On the 30th, Chairman Kim stated in a press release, "April 7, the by-election day, is not a public holiday," and added, "I hope everyone actively participates in early voting on April 2 and 3 to unite in judging the current administration."


He emphasized, "The April 7 by-election is being held due to the ugly series of power-related sexual crimes committed by the Democratic Party-affiliated mayors of Seoul and Busan," and "It is an election to evaluate and judge the overall failures of the Moon Jae-in administration over the past four years."


He also said, "When President Moon Jae-in took office, he declared that he would create a country where opportunities are equal, processes are fair, and outcomes are just. But what happened?" and added, "Starting with the so-called Cho Kuk incident, the value of fairness has collapsed. Justice is nowhere to be found."


He then conveyed that the anger toward the administration must be expressed as a vote at the actual polling stations.



Chairman Kim said, "I am confident that the power to judge the Moon Jae-in government, which caused the current comprehensive crisis, and to set the country right lies in the strength of the people," and "As the main opposition party and a ruling party candidate, the People Power Party will unite the great potential of our people and that power."
