[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Kim Gi-hyeon, the floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea (current Governor of Gyeonggi Province), saying he is "completely playing a double game."

At the on-site Supreme Council meeting held on the 14th at the Gyeonggi Provincial Party Office in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, Floor Leader Kim stated, "Candidate Lee Jae-myung says he will participate in the Gyeonggi Province audit, but Gyeonggi Province and Seongnam City are ignoring the National Assembly's requests for document submission, and the Democratic Party is completely refusing the adoption of witnesses and reference persons."

He continued, "(Candidate Lee) insists that the largest power-type real estate development corruption case since Dangun is his greatest achievement, and when it becomes disadvantageous, he selectively remains silent," adding, "He closely resembles the Moon Jae-in administration's double standards DNA."

Floor Leader Kim also pointed out, "It is known that Candidate Lee's annual leave days this year are 21, but among the 17 provincial governors nationwide, he is the only one not disclosing his annual leave details," and criticized, "It seems highly likely that he used more than the legal leave days to carry out personal election campaign schedules."

He added, "Considering the number of times he traveled around the country, it can be seen that normal official duties were impossible," and claimed, "This year, he held 18 events hosted by Gyeonggi Province in Yeouido. It was effectively a governance vacuum with both his body and mind away from Gyeonggi Province."

Regarding President Moon Jae-in's order to investigate the preferential treatment allegations related to the Daejang-dong development in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, he said, "President Moon Jae-in instructed a thorough investigation of the Daejang-dong gate but at the same time expressed willingness to discuss Candidate Lee's request for a meeting," criticizing, "A sitting president meeting the ruling party's presidential candidate at the Blue House is a very wrong act that greatly undermines the president's duty of election neutrality."

He continued, "The prosecution is avoiding raids on Seongnam City Hall and Gyeonggi Provincial Office," and added, "It is becoming a confirmed fact that the president intervened to dismiss the introduction of a special prosecutor and that the investigation guidelines were to quickly grant immunity to the ruling party's presidential candidate."

He then emphasized, "The People Power Party will become one with public sentiment and the one team to uncover the dark secrets of the Daejang-dong gate and hold the architect, Candidate Lee Jae-myung, legally and politically accountable," and stated, "On the upcoming 18th and 20th, we will conduct a 'National Audit' to carry out a state audit of Gyeonggi Province."
