Kim Du-kwan Repeatedly Pressures "To Show Reflection and Innovation, Responsibility for Presidential Election Defeat Must Be Taken... Yoon Ho-jung Should Resign"

"All Party Members Who Expressed Support for Yoon Seok-yeol Must Be Rooted Out"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 15th, Kim Du-gwan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, reiterated his demand for the resignation of Yoon Ho-jung, the acting committee chairman, saying, "If the party leadership has decided to resign en masse to take responsibility for the presidential election defeat, then Yoon Ho-jung, the floor leader, should naturally resign as well."

On the same day, Kim posted on Facebook titled "The first sign of party reform is the resignation of Acting Committee Chairman Yoon Ho-jung," expressing this view.

Kim said, "This defeat is a shocking loss in which the democracy that the people returned to the Democratic Party with candles five years ago was taken away again by the impeachment forces," emphasizing, "We must reflect on the present, introspect, and innovate."

He added, "The first step of that reflection is to hold someone accountable for the presidential election defeat," and said, "We cannot let this pass without politically punishing the clear person responsible that all party members think of. Unfortunately, there is no other way."

Along with this, he stated, "We must root out all party members who expressed support for Yoon Seok-yeol and prevent them from ever approaching the Democratic Party again to soothe the hurt feelings of the damaged party members."

He explained, "If we cannot do this and still try to run the emergency committee, we will inevitably be criticized as the 'Road Democratic Party' again," and added, "Holding those responsible for policy failures accountable is also a signal that cannot be postponed."

Regarding the local elections to be held in June, Kim assessed, "If we make a definite correction of attitude, reflect, and present new policies and verified candidates, it will not necessarily be a disadvantageous election," and emphasized, "Let's protect Advisor Lee Jae-myung, who secured 16 million supporters, and look at the 100,000 new party members joining. Should we pour cold water on this enthusiasm? Or should we revive this enthusiasm and rally again in the local elections? The answer is clear."

He added, "All those who love the Democratic Party and supported Lee Jae-myung must call for the party's reform," and urged, "Please join the Democratic Party reform signature campaign."
