1,300 People Power Party Members in Daegu Quit, Back Kim Boo-kyum

About 1,300 People Power Party members in Daegu collectively left the party on the 10th and declared support for Kim Boo-kyum, the Democratic Party candidate for Daegu mayor. According to Kim’s campaign, dues-paying and regular party members active in Daegu publicly announced their backing after leaving the party. The original headline noted local attention with the phrase, “Even from Dalseong…?” The move is drawing notice as a case of voter-base movement during the Daegu mayoral race. No further background or election impact beyond the campaign’s statement was provided in the original report. Source: mk.co.kr.
