Ha Tae-kyung "Hard to Block Lee Jun-seok's New Party... Worth Considering Alliance"

""Possible Candidate Unification and Alliance with Lee Nak-yeon's New Party""

On the 26th, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, commented on former leader Lee Jun-seok, who officially announced the formation of a new party, saying, "If Lee Jun-seok's new party is somewhat anti-Yoon within the party (non-Yoon-seok), we can consider an electoral alliance."

Ha appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' that day and said, "Former leader Lee once said, 'I am not anti-Yoon (anti-Yoon Seok-yeol).'" He added, "There are also non-Yoon factions within our party. If the new party's stance is not anti-Yoon outside but rather non-Yoon within the party, then a party-to-party alliance is definitely something we can consider."

Earlier, on the 3rd, Lee Jun-seok revealed through his social media service (SNS) that "even if a new party is formed, its banner cannot be anti-Yoon," expressing his intention not to engage in an 'anti-Yoon alliance.'"

Ha predicted that it has become difficult to block Lee Jun-seok's new party and that its formation is imminent. Lee is scheduled to hold a press conference on the 27th to announce his position regarding his future.

He said, "Since Lee Jun-seok's new party has effectively become a competing party, there will inevitably be a fierce battle over who has more appeal to the younger generation." He emphasized, "Former leader Lee has considerable influence over men in their 20s and 30s, so Han Dong-hoon’s Emergency Response Committee should consider this when forming the committee."

Furthermore, Ha suggested that an alliance with former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon's new party is also possible. Ha said, "If Lee Nak-yeon's new party is formed, it probably won't have many incumbent lawmakers, and it will be difficult to field candidates in all constituencies nationwide." He added, "In that case, there will be strategic constituencies on their side, and it would be entirely possible to unify candidates or form an electoral alliance with us."
