Reform New Party Strategically Nominates Heo Eun-ah for Yeongdeungpo-gap... "Judging Two Candidates Who Deceived the People"

The Reform New Party's Nomination Management Committee announced on the 7th that it has strategically nominated Chief Spokesperson Heo Eun-ah for the Seoul Yeongdeungpo-gap district in the April 10 general election. Former lawmaker Heo, who serves as the party's chief spokesperson, is the Reform New Party's first strategic nominee.

Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Nomination Management Committee, told reporters after the committee's fourth meeting at the National Assembly on the same day, "Currently, Yeongdeungpo-gap is a competitive district where candidates from the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party share the same roots in the Democratic Party," adding, "We decided to strategically nominate former lawmaker Heo because we believe the voters of Yeongdeungpo-gap will judge between the new political forces and the old political forces."

Chief Spokesperson Heo will face a multi-candidate race against Kim Young-joo, the National Assembly Deputy Speaker who left the Democratic Party during the nomination process and joined the People Power Party, and Chae Hyun-il, former mayor of Yeongdeungpo District from the Democratic Party.

Heo said, "Yeongdeungpo District is where I have lived for 20 years," and criticized, "Two candidates, one who was a Democratic Party lawmaker until a few days ago and another from the Democratic Party, are deceiving the residents of Yeongdeungpo by both running." She emphasized, "As a true conservative politician, I want to come and judge those who have deceived the people."

She argued, "In the contest between two candidates from the Democratic Party and the true conservative Heo Eun-ah, who has aimed for conservative politics, the people will determine who can genuinely lead conservative politics for the residents of Yeongdeungpo."

Chief Spokesperson Heo entered Yeouido as a proportional representative of the People Power Party in the 21st general election. Later, when Representative Lee Jun-seok left the People Power Party and founded the Reform New Party, she resigned her seat and joined the new party.
