Ha Tae-kyung: "Kim Ki-hyun Became the 'Opposition X-Man'... Continuing as Leader Is a Mockery"

"National Verification Complete"... Pressure on Kim Gi-hyeon to Resign
"'Nakjun Coalition' Will Succeed More Than Ahn People's Party"

Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party who urged Kim Ki-hyun to resign as party leader, said, "The national scrutiny of Representative Kim is over," adding, "If he holds on any longer, it will only become ugly." In an interview with BBS Radio's 'Jeon Young-shin's Morning Journal' on the 11th, Ha said, "I feel like kneeling down and begging Representative Kim."

Ha said, "The image Kim has shown so far is not just a refusal to innovate but even obstructing, effectively becoming the Democratic Party's X-man," adding, "Democratic Party supporters are at the stage of mocking, saying things like 'Thank you if Kim continues as leader' and 'Wishing him longevity.'

He continued, "When Kim Ki-hyun became the leader, his pledge was to raise the party approval rating to 55% and the president's approval rating to 60%. Isn't it far from that now?" He criticized, "Within the party, they say there is no alternative to Representative Kim, but that's a rather idle story."

He added, "Inside the party, there are Won Hee-ryong and Han Dong-hoon, and outside the party, there are Kim Han-gil, Kim Byung-joon, and Kim Hwang-sik?there are many people," emphasizing, "The other Supreme Council members can remain as they are. They have not done anything wrong. It is a problem of only one leader."

Regarding the speculation about an alliance between former Democratic Party leaders Lee Nak-yeon and Lee Jun-seok, Ha said, "Since neither of them has left their party yet, it is still premature," but predicted, "If both leave their parties, they will naturally unite."

He added, "Currently, both major parties are surrounded by extreme forces, so the centrist space is very wide," and said, "If the 'Nak-Jun alliance' or 'Nak-Jun new party' is formed, it will achieve even greater success than the past considerable success of Ahn Cheol-soo's People's Party."
