Yoon Sang-hyun: "We Must Invite Na Kyung-won as 'Capital Region Election Committee Chair'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoon Sang-hyun, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, extended a hand of 'alliance,' saying that former lawmaker Na Kyung-won, who declared she would not run, should be invited as a co-chairperson of the 'Capital Region Election Committee.'

On the 27th, Yoon said through his social media (SNS), "Former lawmaker Na is one of the few four-term lawmakers in the capital region and is keenly aware of the need to reorganize the capital region's front lines to counter the Democratic Party's relentless offensive in the next general election."

Yoon is forming a 'Capital Region Alliance' with lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo in this party convention. Although former lawmaker Na declared she would not run, since she has experience representing a constituency in the capital region, she can share the intention of the capital region alliance.

Yoon said, "Former lawmaker Na showed a resolute spirit of putting the party first with the words, 'If it can prevent the public's concern about the party's division and confusion and bring us back to harmony and unity, I will bravely step down.' Now, it is our turn to respond." Because she shares the same view on the 'Capital Region Representation Theory' I proposed at this party convention, we must invite former lawmaker Na as the co-chairperson of the ‘Capital Region Election Committee.’"
