[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kwon Eun-hee, floor leader of the People’s Party, defended Ahn Cheol-soo, the party leader who withdrew from the presidential race on the 4th.

On that day, Floor Leader Kwon posted on her Facebook, saying, "I am sharing my position as many have been curious about my stance regarding the candidate’s withdrawal," and added, "I did my best in barren land, but knowing better than anyone that it is a reality where no sprouts can grow, I cannot just throw money at it."

She continued, "I have also expressed to Candidate Ahn that since a candidate must fully take political responsibility, I respect the candidate’s decision."

While stating "I respect Candidate Ahn’s decision," Floor Leader Kwon said, "I believe someone must take responsibility for the colleagues and supporters who stood together in the wasteland and for the promises made to the people," and added, "I will think more about when and how to take responsibility and will share my thoughts later."
