Nam Young-sook, Gyeongbuk Provincial Councilor, Appointed Co-Chair of the People Power Party Women's Local Councilors Association

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-sun] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Council announced on the 14th that Nam Young-sook (People Power Party, Sangju) was appointed as co-representative at the ‘6th National Women Local Councilors Association Inauguration Ceremony’ held at the People Power Party Central Office on the 10th.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by the party leadership including Jeong Jin-seok, the People Power Party Emergency Committee Chairman, as well as next party leadership candidates such as Kim Ki-hyun and Ahn Cheol-soo, who all appealed for support from women local councilors.

Since the March 8 party convention will be conducted entirely by party member voters, the support of women local councilors who actively communicate with party members directly influences the party’s overall sentiment.
