[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Hwang Kyo-ahn, former leader of the People Power Party and a presidential contender (formerly the United Future Party), visited Gumi, Gyeongbuk on the 27th and said, "The pardon of former President Park Geun-hye is already too late."

Former leader Hwang visited the birthplace of former President Park Chung-hee in Sangmo-dong, Gumi, and urged for Park Geun-hye's pardon, saying, "It is against humanity for former President Park Geun-hye to be detained while receiving long-term treatment at an advanced age," and "A presidential decision is necessary."

Regarding party leader Lee Jun-seok's leadership, he said, "It can be seen as noise marketing, and the fact that various stories are coming out is not necessarily a bad thing," and evaluated, "A 36-year-old young party leader has taken office, and the young support base is increasing, so it is positive as the party is on a path of expansion."

He also said, "Some presidential primary candidates are trying to shake the party leader, but instead of letting the young party leader handle it alone, if the veteran members who have protected the party join together for generational fusion, the great task of regime change can be achieved."

Former leader Hwang emphasized, "Instead of internal bickering among candidates, we must leverage each other's strengths and build a big tent centered on the party leader."

He said, "As the primaries progress, support rates will rise," and added, "Because I am a candidate with experience in the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, as well as the capability and wisdom to overcome crises, the people will choose me on March 9 next year."
