"Must Speak Up in Yongsan and Submit Dokki Petition"

Heo Eun-ah, a member of the People Power Party, raised her voice regarding the party secretariat's general election status report, which showed an advantage in only 6 out of 49 constituencies in Seoul ahead of next year's general election, saying, "Are we the only ones in the party who didn't know what the public already knows?"


On the 8th, Heo posted on her Facebook, "I am rather surprised by the news that it is a 'complete disaster,'" and pointed out, "Not only Seoul but the entire metropolitan area is on the verge of devastation."

She added, "Denying it hard does not change reality," and "Just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand does not make the imminent crisis disappear."


She emphasized, "The fastest way to solve a problem is to acknowledge it," and said, "Even now, we must face reality, speak up in Yongsan, and submit a formal appeal. It is not a matter that can be resolved by a few senior members going to difficult constituencies."


Meanwhile, the People Power Party secretariat reported to the party leadership that there are only 6 constituencies in Seoul where the party holds an advantage. According to the analysis, the constituencies with an advantage in Seoul are Gangnam-gap, Gangnam-eul, Gangnam-byeong, Seocho-gap, Seocho-eul, and Songpa-eul.



However, the leadership stated that this status analysis "assumes the worst-case scenario." Lee Man-hee, the head of the general election planning team and secretary-general, explained on the same day, "Since candidates have not been decided, we have never conducted constituency opinion polls," and added, "The organization department drafted the report by dividing it into worst-case and best-case scenarios to report the overall status."
