Chairperson Lee Suk-ja Welcomes Kim Tae-woo's Candidacy for Gangseo District Mayor By-election

Isukja, Chair of the Planning and Economy Committee of Seoul Metropolitan Council, Claims "Candidate Kim Tae-woo Completing the Remaining Term After Winning the District Mayor Election Is the Right Thing to Do"

Lee Suk-ja, Chairperson of the Planning and Economy Committee of the Seoul Metropolitan Council (Seocho 2, People Power Party), expressed congratulations and encouragement on the 17th to Kim Tae-woo, former Mayor of Gangseo-gu, who was confirmed as a candidate in the People Power Party's by-election primary for the Mayor of Gangseo-gu, Seoul.

Former Mayor Kim Tae-woo was a member of the Blue House Special Inspection Team under the Moon Jae-in administration and raised allegations regarding the cover-up of investigations by Cho Kuk, then Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs. Although he was found guilty of leaking official secrets by the Supreme Court in May, he was granted a special pardon on Liberation Day, allowing him to run again in the Gangseo-gu mayoral by-election.

Chairperson Lee Suk-ja stated, “I welcome the decision to select Kim Tae-woo, a whistleblower who stood against the tyranny of the Moon Jae-in administration, as the People Power Party candidate for the Gangseo-gu mayoral by-election. His victory would mean continuing the will of the residents of Gangseo-gu, as confirmed in the last local election, by fulfilling the remaining term of the mayoral office lost as a result of his whistleblowing.”

She also said, “I support Kim Tae-woo in doing his best in the upcoming by-election so that the party’s choice will lead to a just and rightful outcome, and I ask for the active support of the residents of Gangseo-gu.”
